I painted this and wrote this poem for my mom. She’s gone, now, but when I read it, I’m there with her, once again, feeling all the feels. ❤️ Happy Mothers Day to all the moms of Bluesky 💐

95%! Lol. Those are dire numbers. I think it’s been closer to 50/50. This might be optimistic, but I also think, as I say, the darker one side gets/feels, the brighter it will seem on the other side.

Yes! It is a journey. So we have to stop and let the simple fact that the sun is shining fuel us from within. I have to believe there will be an end to the madness. And we will ALL celebrate that day.

Thanks, Tamalita. 😻

Such a kind thing to say. Are you sure you aren’t Canadian? 😉

Susan is Canadian Left 📎 🇨🇦 @susanlanedutrizac.bsky.social · 3d

Agreed. The view gets better because we begin to recognize the simple peace in the mere absence of turmoil.

Yes!👏

Crazy is a form of strength, don’t you think? And anger can be your fuel. Harness that and you are power itself. ❤️

Susan is Canadian Left 📎 🇨🇦 @susanlanedutrizac.bsky.social · 3d

Yes. The struggle is real and it’s also never ending. There’s no on off switch. But when you get those good moments? That’s when you dig in, relish, roll around in it, breathe it in and hug it close. These are the pockets of life that give you the energy to go on.

This. Absolutely.

We are so much stronger together ❤️

My mom used to say: Just remember, it’s always darker just before the dawn.
I think it refers to how much we can stand before we rise up.

My mother was a religious woman. I’m far from that. But I get it. You have have faith in something.

You’ll know. Just be ready to act.

Be strong.

Ugh. This is both sickening and TRUE. 😞

What gives me hope is this: In my lifetime, I have felt moments of profound grief and staggering despair, but it is only since then that I have been able to actualize and appreciate the greatest joys.

We must first witness the darkness to understand the need for light.

Please don’t give up. 🍁

Out for a drive in the woods to renew my soul and settle my being. I’m so very grateful for my little corner of this planet. #magafreezone #notrumptuesday

Agreed. It doesn’t impress me that they caved. Money out of their pockets made them cave. NOT free speech, NOT fascism, NOT the ugliness of the White House. I’m so tired of the acceptance of it all.

I have had nothing but hassles in my lifetime taking on a man’s sir name. NEVER change your last name. It isn’t worth it.

So Disney feels the pinch of $4Billion in revenue and reinstates “Jimmy Kimmel Live”. Once again we learn money talks—it’s the only language “they” understand. But I want to see Disney really stand up to the fascists. Come on, Disney. Stick your neck out. That’s the only way I’ll resubscribe…

Too little, too late. Sorry not sorry. Do more, Disney. Do MUCH MORE.
