I've had a couple of people ask if I'm ok & why I'm not posting.

To head off multiple inquiries I've promised a short thread.

I'm fine, well, you know, "fine."

Our debate over Independence Day celebrations took me to a really negative space.

I slept for like 36 hours.

In this environment I've often complained about the general lack of raw anger and preached the need for more actual rage against this illegitimate machine. I've been pretty consistent.

At the same time I've maintained that rage hourly, daily.

Non-stop.

It's been over three years for me now. Three long, insufferable years during which I've also had to deal with the death of my beloved mother.

The second anniversary of her death is approaching and I'm walking on emotional egg shells.

It's affecting everything.

3/

My health, my diet, my patience, & ability to be civil even to allies.

For the sake of all of it I had to step back a bit & take a few pretend days. Days filled w/ hobbits, pugs, wine, work, gardening, BBC, @Hannahgadsby, @PhilRosenthal, #TinaTurner, & my dear @BettyBuckley.

4/

In this world there is no @realDonaldTrump. There are no midterms. And I don't have to cry myself to sleep from the horror.

I'm almost done.

You'll be sick of be again soon enough, promise.

Love,
because that is what counts,
