A Little Beaten Today

 I am in a less than good mood. One might even say a lousy mood. This is not a gluten problem. It is more a "every day for the past week we have woken up to a new shooting" type problem.

And a bit of resignation that this is where I live now. A country that overturns abortion rights to control women. Where a daily mass shooting leads to calls for more guns - they don't even pretend with "hopes and prayers" anymore.

And a country that rewards lying, stealing, and cheating. Well, at least for older white men.


And it is so normal and accepted that I have run out of outrage and regret - I can't help it but I have moved right along to "it's hopelessly fucked and I am fucking out of hope."

  1. I'm almost there myself but I still have a very small shred of hope we won't combust.
