    Today is a dark day. But, I will say this…

    When the world gets dark, new lights often appear. It’s a funny thing, but good people tend to be quiet and reserved. It’s the anger of the patient person, and the good people pushed too far, that often can incite the most change. As Mr. Rogers’ mother famously told him - look for the helpers when you see scary things unfold.

    It’s time for the helpers.

    I hope everyone reading this understands what this means. We must help now. Don’t look for the helpers, because we aren’t children, as Fred Roger’s once was…

    Protect the people around you, especially the vulnerable and those at the most risk. Do it at the cost of your safety and well-being.

    Cruelty has won a great battle today, but it can’t win the war without a fight.

      Tough times make tough people

      Tough people make easy times.

      Easy times make weak people.

      Weak people make tough times. <--------We are here.

      Tough times make Tough people <------ Your light of hope.

        No, the tough times were 2020-2024 when the cost of living was raised further, women’s rights to their own bodies started to be eroded, and corporate enshittification went out of control.

        It’s now “tough times make bigoted people who scapegoat minorities,” apparently.
