Oh darn.

I guess this is where I'm posting now. Today, I started my job as a hospice chaplain, and I wonder/fear just how relevant this is going to be for the next 4 years.

I swore I wouldn't say I told you so.

I swore...

I...

Yes, exactly!

Disgusting.

So here's the thing. This lame-duck administration that has nothing to lose continues to fund genocide and throws trans people under the bus. Gross. There is nothing in this US political system that I can support.

As Warnings of Crisis in Gaza Mount, Palestinians Struggle to Find Room for the Dead Israel’s latest strikes on Gaza have drawn warnings from aid workers and residents of a humanitarian catastrophe. “We are facing a huge disaster,” said one U.N. official.

In Gaza, hospitals are running short on fuel; water and electricity have been cut off; and cemeteries do not have room for the dead. Israel’s latest strikes on the territory have drawn warnings from aid workers and residents of a humanitarian catastrophe.
