Tips to keep democracy alive in 2025:

1. Be Brave. Avoid helpless/hopeless talk. Authoritarians want you to feel powerless because it makes their work easier. Courage, faith, and optimism are essential. Fascism feeds on cynicism and pessimism. Starve it.

My Canadian friends & family tell me it's "no better" there. I beg to differ on this kinda stuff right here. I ❤️ 🇨🇦
My mother's had breast cancer, hip replacement, sepsis, fractured back, stroke, shingles, and cataracts.

My father had idiopathic nocturnal seizures, tachycardia, heart incidents, and cataracts.

Hospital bill?

Absolutely nothing.

American politicans are lying to you about American healthcare.

We are 8 days from the end of quarter 2 & kids have started to ask.

“What can I do get get my grade up?”

My response…

“Your work, as it was assigned in class.”

“Can I turn it in now?”

“No, that’s why we have rolling due dates.”

“Is there extra credit?”

“Extra implied you did the credit…”

Me watching a film.

1. Start watching.

2. Wonder what I’ve seen one of the actors in before.

3. Google actor.

4. Go to IMDb/their Wikipedia page.

5. Find out every single detail of their entire life.

6. Realise I’ve completely missed the plot of the film and now have no idea what’s going on.

Very clear & powerful. Two years + four years to take heed.
I recommend setting aside some time to read this thoughtful essay. I found it to be very clarifying and grounded in actual detail rather than pundit-y projections.
On her first day canvassing for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, “I began to sense a dissonance between the celebrity-inflected exuberance of the Harris campaign and the bleak mood and raw divisions I encountered in the streets,” Julia Preston writes.

Well, we made it to December, and although there are cracks, the sky hasn’t fallen yet—and it won’t. Be sure to get at least 15 mins of EXTRA walking/exercise in every day! Health truly is the most important thing. Without it, life really sucks. Be well!! 💪🏼🚶🏻‍♂️🍩👀❤️
