There are so many people in this country quietly going about their days doing brilliant and compassionate and beautiful things that will never be documented and I need to remind myself of that today

I had a drink to curb the overwhelming angst.
after a drink I realized it would take more than a drink and I would need the whole bottle, so I stopped.

have to stay present
this is not the time to lose focus.

Renee good was murdered and the man this morning was executed for having a gun on him. He was shot while he was on the ground being held down, shot 3 or 4 times. An evil greater than that does not exist on this planet.

but when juveniles end up in court for misdemeanors no one says this about them - that they just have a "willingness to push the boundaries of the law". this is only afforded to
certain people, i.e., the rich and the authoritative. I guess.
NPR just referred to the Trump regime’s “willingness to push the boundaries of the law.”
Trump keeps breaking laws, and the media keep saying he’s *almost* breaking laws.

I was in a situation today which illuminated for me, most starkly, that many people believe they are exercising critical thinking when they are in fact incapable of suffering even the slightest questioning.

Sometimes we feel grief when we are not afforded our right to feel anger,
And contrariwise.

sorrow is a companion with whom I am all too familiar. people see us together and infer I must really prefer its company.
it is not in me to explain.

Seen on interstate: car with bumper sticker reading

ON JUDGMENT DAY YOU'LL WISH YOUR CAR HAD MORE JESUS STICKERS

Me: not only am I pretty sure that won't be my first wish, I'm fairly confident more bumper stickers aren't Jesus' first priority, either
