I have been SO HAPPY with the diversity in the Unfortunate Events series. I am holding onto these small things

I’m finally reading Swapna Krishna’s post on the comics asshole and *heart eyes for days*

I had to take a Twitter break after reading myself into the early stages of a panic attack on Friday, so…yeah.

So terrifying. Right now feeling so angry and upset about so many things I don’t even know where to start. But some of these links helped so thanks. I especially appreciated the Joseph Campbell video and the post from Alice.

Alice’s post was beautiful, thank you.

This week simply defies description. How has the country that 240 years ago rejected the rule of an insane king they considered a tyrant, now elected a obviously insane tyrant who thinks he is not only a king, but a god who can bend reality to his will? And Congress just proceeds with business as usual? What is the madness that has infected our nation and our world? How do I stay mentally fit in order to cope? That has to be my priority right now; when I rage too much it starts to feel like I’m getting infected myself.

Yeah, it’s been a rough week. I will be sure to practice self-care and step away from social media / Twitter when needed.
Thanks for all the great links! That Hero’s Jouney video was wonderful. And the Afghan Women’s poetry..

This has been the most bizarre and terrible week. I don’t even know what to say any more. Alice’s post is great though.

In other news, I have now watched two Dirk Gently episodes and it is really, really strange. They’re having a lot of fun with it. I’m not sure if I *like* it exactly, but it’s sure interesting. More violence than I like, but my violence tolerance level is really low.

You’re right, being a hero does suck which is why we all would rather admire them but none of us wants to be one. It’s been ages since I read Campbell, I should probably pull him off the shelf sometime. And loved the Reading Rambo post!

That article about the peaceful marching is fascinating and makes a lot of sense, sadly. I wonder how we can use that sexism to our advantage…

There will be much puppy hugging this weekend. It has gotten so that I am not sleeping well at night as I am worrying about what shit he will do in the middle of the night.

It’s been such a weird week. I was under the mistaken impression that he wouldn’t be able to do all that he’s done as there would be enough opposition in the House. But looks like he is able to push through it all. Scary!
