Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

Since you started reading this, you have traveled about 3000km.

I haven’t seen any polling (that’s on purpose) but I think our message should be 1) they are ripping you off 2) they are taking your money and giving it to their billionaire buddies

Protect people, fight for people. No one wants to see us fighting for programs and projects and agencies.

It’s time to stand strong for the empowerment of regular people: quality healthcare, quality education, quality education, and a guaranteed job. That’s not a hot take or anything. Just fight for people.

Testing… testing… is this thing on?

History repeats.

In late February 1921, 2 weeks before taking office as POTUS, Warren Harding writes a letter to the richest man in America, William Randolph Hearst, thanking him for helping him win the presidency with favorable coverage in major newspapers he owned & begging for his advice.
