Online “resistance” groups are giving some (especially white folks) a sense of collective action & political organization. That feeling of solidarity makes people less motivated to do the real political organizing needed to actually improve our predicament. It weaponizes processing work over action.

When I’ve had a few minutes, here and there in recent weeks, I’ve been writing haiku.

Oh, the weight of time
Leaves me here with my sorrow,
Still optimistic.

I’m still angry and grieving for America, but I will be directing my attention to survival, my own Project 2025. I’ll be tossing ideas out here. Some practical. Some fanciful. Some no doubt idealistic, constructive, worthwhile. Others untenable. The plan develops on the go…

I will not allow myself to be consumed by compassion fatigue when things start to fall apart, as we know they will. I will, however, reserve my compassion for those who did not vote to put the chaos makers back in power.

Where are the Queer starter packs?

All these announcements of Cabinet positions, he’s just filling up the clown car.
