This cannot end soon enough. As Bob said yesterday:
We are now just over a month away (36 days) from the end of the tRump pResidency. I have to be honest - I am sick of writing blogs about what a piece of shit he is. I am tired of being outraged on a daily basis over the jaw-dropping self-serving insanity he pelts us with constantly; it's exhausting. Imagine a world (he said in a deep dramatic voice) where normal politics force us to report on world events, the actual state of the environment, and other "normal" things. What a dream - to have everyday problems return.


He's spot-on. I feel that way as well. That said, in the end of his post as we may never have the normal we once knew. Yes, we have to prepare for whatever that is.

That's the thing about normal -- it's both subjective and objective. What's normal to you, might not be the same to me.

What I want, as I write this small post is to return to what was once known as acceptable, because what we are witnessing around this nation is not. I want to go back to a place where we don't hurt people who may be 'others'. I want mutual respect even in the face of disagreement. I want reason to be forefront when trying to solve a problem. I want it to be ok to acknowledge a problem.

We need to stop allowing this chaotic movement the occupant of the White House has forced upon us. We need to embrace humanity and make that normal again.

Needs being met will allow what we want as our normal to return.

&
Raine

Good morning, bloggers!!!

Best wishes to Chris, Steph, and everyone at the Stephanie Miller Show!!! I hope that it is a false positive. If not, I hope for an easy recovery and a quick return to full health.

It looks like Steph is not going to get to see her mother.

"Normal" for me would be coming home from work (where I have been off the grid all day) and my first thought won't be "What did the Orange Fuckhead do today?"

That's it.

In other news, we're all familiar with these?

denial.
anger.
bargaining.
depression.
acceptance.

Yep, the stages of grief. Back in October, I wrote a personal anecdote about what has been lost through Covid. While I still lament all the things that came to pass this summer - I think I have reached acceptance.

I've just completed a Case Study (heh - remember those?) about a vexing problem I noticed on one of my new bus routes. This was actually at the request of the safety officer, as I brought it to his attention about a week ago.

Not bad for 90 days on the job.
