This blog has a heavy social justice element to it. As a person who feels deeply and cares about what’s going on around the world I want to post about it show support and awareness. Be warned I come from a center-left perspective and if what I post is too much then you have my blessing to unfollow. No hard feelings. Right now the world is in need of advocates for people who want to have rights and resources to make their lives better and I am answering that call. Some posts will have comments turned off because I don’t want any conflict between people. Thanks for your understanding and interest in what I have to say.

The Slippery Social Media Slope
Everyone reading who reads blogs, Tweets, timeline posts, or watches vlogs and the like is actively involved in social media of some sort. There is a difference between opinion and fact, truth, and lies. Right now there is a bunch of gray between what is reality and fantasy. My friends having some certainty and stability in the chaos of this life we are all leading is so necessary right now.
My opinion of Donald Trump is that he is a vile, evil, son of a bitch who has no empathy or care for anyone other than himself. Others would differ.
With all that being said we live in a time when it has been documented that he and other politicians live somewhere between true and false statements.
In the pandemic age we live in we need facts and we are getting them from public health professionals who have studied and prepared for a time like this.
When it comes to democracy making it easier for people to vote and participate is necessary for any nation to choose the right people to lead and hopefully serve. To spread lies about mail-in voting does great harm.
My friends the regulation or deregulation depending on the circumstances of social media is a slippery slope. Especially when it’s coming from a person who uses the technology to bully, intimidate, lie, and to undermine our society. When you are supposed to be the leader of the free world words matter and his words seem to do great harm to many.
I am concerned because without checking the facts what can be said on Twitter might as well be the gospel truth in the mind of those who choose not to research further and to get more information. All of this is scary and everyone who is a content creator of some sort has to stand up and speak out. For many, their livelihoods are at stake.
My friends, be vigilant, and use the tools you have to make your voice heard and seen.
Fourteen Years With WordPress

Wow it’s been fourteen years. I haven’t been blogging regularly here for that long it’s only been six since I migrated to WordPress.com as my new blogging home. I thank all those who have followed me over the years. I hope I haven’t bored any of you to tears yet. Here’s to many more posts.

May We Grow Back To Something Better

I have talked previously about the return to “normal” and frankly I don’t want to go back there. Right now we have to chart a new timeline and a new course. Taking the lessons of the past few weeks and applying to a new way forward. We aren’t going back because that’s not the direction any of us is going. Courage and compassion are the rules of the days ahead.
