60. thanks for creating this space for our sadness. just saying out loud that
democracy has been dealt a potentially fatal wound, and may be DOE on Jan. 6th. I prefer voicing real feelings, even when difficult, rather than hiding our sadness with silence so we won't be called 'weak' or 'insecure' or 'needing our meds' or by rabid NeoCon psy-ops thought-cops. Maybe the most difficult truths set us most free.

I am imagining 100s of thousands of peeps dressed in black with orange armbands and/or headbands to symbolize working for the best (orange), while being prepared for the worst (black), in front of the Capital Building on Jan. 6th. gives me a warm feeling. I live in Oregon and am trying to raise money to be there with a videographer friend of mine.

I often skate a thin line between sadness, on one hand, and depression aka paralysis on other too, so there is that risk i suppose...but not inevitable or necessary at all. thank Goddess..

Regardless of whether MSM gives a damn, let's see if Kerry really turns that boar around tomorrow. can u say tipping point? hmmmm. maybe i'll go now to check in on WmPitt strings to see if there are any 'tidbits' emerging re tomorrow. tomorrow. will it always be tomorrow, until there isn't a tomorrow anymore?

There's a time for sadness, and a time to fight like hell. This seems like a time to do both.
