"A DYSTOPIAN CHRISTMAS". Content Warning.
"In this world, there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed.” as said by Charlie Chaplin

Here, the whispers of yesteryear dance on the breath of the wind, carrying stories of love, loss, and longing.

The Ballad of JR Biden
"Lying about expenses on a personal tax return, or drug use on a permit for a gun that was never used, isn’t in the same league as Trump inciting a violent mob to attack the U.S. capital. Nor is it anywhere near Trump asking a state official to find 11,000 votes to rig an election, decades of business and financial fraud, a jury finding of sexual abuse and defamation, or staggering emoluments from foreign governments" (Salon, Haake, 12/09/24).

the mountain & me. Content Warning.
Once upon a time, I climbed a mountain. I had this line of people behind me who were pushing me, telling me this was the mountain I wanted. They even got me to the top, even when I resisted and tried to turn around. Eventually I gave up, choking on the high altitude.
