Wrote this early in Covid lockdown. Eerily true still.

MAKING YOUR OWN HEAVEN

is it possible to stop being scared about what might happen
and just know your own heaven is something
here on earth that you have made with your own
hands
your own
heart

ABC's @wlos-13.bsky.social is out of Asheville. Local NBC and CBS are from Greenville, S.C.... different state, different issues, different services.

WLOS is truly our local TV news.

I will continue searching for a way to see it on one of the gazillion services I already pay for. #journalism

RURAL LIVING:
Woke up this morning, heated coffee settled in to local news and WHAT!? YouTube TV and ABC / Disney apparently are in contract battles and my local ABC station WLOS ABC 13 is no longer available. Yep, no ABC on youtubeTV. Or ESPN or Disney.

Why this matters?

🚨Our taxes paid for a security net to prevent this kind of nationwide hunger crisis and Trump unilaterally opted to deny using these designated funds. 1/2
