It’s sunny but below freezing. Only it doesn’t look below freezing. It looks like it should be an early spring day.
Oh well.
Wait, no, it’s gone up to slightly above freezing. Much better.
I’m in a state of extreme annoyance with humanity today, in which you are welcome to join me or not, that is up to you. Maybe it kicked off by the incredible disregard there seems to be for the six workers who died on the Key Bridge, a search that didn’t seem nearly as intensive as the one for the people in that unseaworthy sub that imploded.
Maybe it was yet another man pretending something I’d posted said something it didn’t, and then proceeding to “correct” and “educate” me. We all know how much I love that.
And maybe it’s the cumulative piling up of the horrible aspects of humanity, largely in republican form, delighting in the worst that happens and working against the best.
Who can tell.
But today I am feeling, very much, that as a species, we’re a flop.
For every good, decent person, it seems like there are ten awful ones utterly lacking in humanity. That time will go on but people needing to “feel superior” to others, for whatever reason they cook up, will never end.
Do you think male whales mansplain to the female ones? I almost went with elephants but we know that is not the case, the female elephants would just run them off, they’re known to do that.
And we’re mostly through today’s post with nary a drop of wisdom, so I guess I will say this: be better. Just be better as a human. Be nice to someone. Write postcards to get a Democrat elected. Challenge bad ideas.
Just be better. Even if it’s only one thing you do today.
And have a great Wednesday.
