Me, I rant in poems and prose, while trying to catch a little senseless beauty here and there with phone or camera. My partner in crime is a 30lb labrahuahua rescue. She provides the laugh track.

Auntifa, UncleFa, and many, many cousinFas were out in force in Santa Maria. They barley kept in line with honks from passing cars and free water.

Happy to say I escaped fully intact, but loaded with flyers.

How's your skin?

🚩 Red Flag:
My skin flares, and slow healing weren’t “aging”—they were diabetes. By the time I pushed for labs, my A1C was 12.9%.

🟩 Green Flag:
Turning it around meant changing what and how I eat, experimenting and taking notes, not Ozempic.

Diabetes! Red Flag/Green Flag
Keep an eye on your skin, and once you've got it, get ahold of a CGM.

🚩 Red Flag:
Federal agents fired rubber bullets & pepper spray at Chicago immigration protesters, injuring a U.S. citizen. When protest meets violence, rights are at risk.

🟩 Green Flag:
Protesters block ICE vans & keep spreading. Resistance grows.

Outrage is free, but your attention pays the bill.

Some roads don’t take us home. They bend us back toward what we tried to leave behind.

When has the road refused to let you go?

What good is a “blue wave” if it just stands there? We need fighters for wages, healthcare, truth, democracy. If you won’t lead, step aside. Full essay:

Here's his Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/schu...

Let him know EXACTLY how you feel about his leadership of our party, and exactly what his never steps should be.

My personal advice is that he step down to someone who has a spine.

You are in collusion with, rather than opposition against the current regime. Do the right things and step down. You are not fit to lead our party.

What is a disaster is watching a spineless Democrat lead our party into collusion with an executive branch who is attempting to destroy democracy. Yet here we stand.

Lost my Dad seven years back and it was absolutely one of the most devastating things I have ever gone through. I feel your pain.

I know it's impossible to believe, but it eventually does hurt less. It doesn't go away, but it doesn't consume your every waking moment. May you find some peace.
