Whoa! Special forces commanders are telling the pedophile führer that they will not draw up plans to invade America's ally, Greenland. Like leaders of the G7, U.S. military leaders are incresingly recognizing that Trump is psychologically damaged and unfit to be president. 😳👇

I remember learning about Nazis and McCarthyism and wondering how people allowed these things to happen.

I would ask: Why did the military go along? Why did the politicians go along? How were their citizens in favor of these atrocities?

I'm living it now and I have the same questions.

Hello! I spend a lot of time and energy (and actual money) to create and share Dumb Runner's all-original content, and I do it all with zero ads, sponsors, affiliate links, or paywalls.

So if you value what I do (and how I do it), take a minute now and show me—become a Dumb Runner supporter! ❤️

Gray, rainy day at the end of a week of bad news and insane politics, so I spent the day making a flower-filled quilt out of scraps, for a hospital-bound kid. I hope it will cheer them up as much as making it did for me. Tomorrow I’ll find a backing fabric, make the sandwich and start quilting it.

I did. Difficult to describe. Essays. Some philosophical, some method, and some emotional. I enjoyed it, but I love nearly any running book. #runchat

The world is a mess, but I know one thing for sure: I married a good man. Because today is his birthday, we did what we always do. We put on our fancy clothes and want to dinner at a fancy restaurant. No regrets on the marriage or the meal. Happy Birthday to the #onehundredpercentgoodhusband!

I don't know how to teach people they should care about things that hurt other humans, even when those things aren't impacting them.
