So it’s Monday, and the real world has already intruded, igniting that anger fire deep inside. I’m upset for same-sex couples who can be the target of self-righteous bigotry, thanks to the Supreme Court.
I have no problem with people living as they wish to live (if it’s truly how they wish to live, but that’s a whole other set of issues generally pertaining to women in highly religious environments) but I do have a problem with intruding on other people’s quality of life. Why do so many people derive such joy by making other people miserable?
It’s a mystery I’ll never solve.
It’s a beautiful day today, but despite a yoga practice focusing on “bliss,” I’m very unsettled. Maybe it’s too much coffee this morning; maybe it’s too much of this country crumbling like a soggy cliff into a churning, warming sea.
I need to snap back into worlds of my own making, I have so much editing to do and it’s slow, slow going, word by painstaking word. It takes the concentration that’s seething elsewhere.
But such is life. The world continues to turn, even if it feels like it’s wobbling on its axis. The times are what they are, we can only do so much to control or change that.
Onward.

A Bit to Read 
“As a Plumbing Artist, I do not have to fix that Jewish family’s toilet. I am preserving my right to not lend my artistic rights to those who killed the Savior. God bless.”
That’s where we are heading back to. Sad place, this world.

Exactly. It’s really infuriating and disheartening. These are strange times, and it feels like we’re on the brink of something horrendous.

Yep. People suck. Especially those who are obsessed with never changing… something that cannot logically ever happen. But logic doesn’t stop those people who must. stop. progress.

It’s so ridiculous. And what does it matter to the baker? It’s not like the baker’s going to be invited to the wedding.
It just seems like people who are happiest ruining things for others just got a big boost to do just that.

Yep. It’s the gift of The Donald to bring out the worst in people. And the worst people love him for it.

They really do, they seem to revel in it.
Today I saw a white man set a black man’s car ON FIRE because he said it was “too flashy.”
ON FIRE.
It was a 2002 car (apparently carefully maintained.)

Well, that’s just vicious and stupid and wasteful. What a shame!
