Sharing some lessons from the
Korean people who impeached, arrested, and indicted the president for his abuse of power:
1. The People first went for the those that were under him who went along with his plans. Because once you get the henchmen, there's no one for the top to call on anymore.

“A lot of journalists argue that their role isn’t to advocate—that that’s not their job. But if your job isn’t to inform people in a way that will help them, then I don’t really understand what your job is.”

I love #flowers. Floral arranging is definitely on my #dopaminemenu & I tend #photograph them at a possibly obsessive rate.
That said, I can't grow anything to save my life. Nor do I ever remember what they're called. I assume this is an #ADHD thing.

I need a button on my music app that I can tap 3-7 times to indicate how many times I want the same song to repeat. The loop button is nice but then I forget to turn it off when I’m done with a song lol

Condensation. Every photographer is required by law to shoot this photo at least once, preferably early in the winter to get it done and out of the way.

My friends and I definitely did not write over 150,000 words of text role play in the past (checks watch) two months. Couldn’t be me.
But the good news is I think this is the most creative writing I’ve ever done.

I feel like this is an incredibly common realization for many adults but: How did I ever make it through school? I would not survive as a full-time student now.

My most regular hobby I engage with right now is creating coded messages, art, and text role play for an alternate universe version of my favorite LARP character… it’s great for stimulating my creativity but it also feels like overkill lol

Is it common for non-disabled folks to have thoughts like “Ah, I really want to work in a more nicely put together room, but if I try to move just a couple pieces of furniture and clean up a tiny bit right now, I will no longer have the energy to work”?

The more I read about our current state, the more I feel strongly about building up local community and power.
I’m feeling kinda stuck and demoralized about it tho and I feel like many people are feeling the same. Would love to hear what y’all are doing out there to build community. Drop it below ⬇️

I would love serious 3rd party candidates! To me, that would look like: building a local power base, winning city then state elections, helping other regions do the same, then having enough of a national base to first force one of the two major parties to negotiate w/you, then run a real challenge.
