Nothing like coming back to your blog after a 9-year hiatus.
I was not happy about the outcome of the 2016 elections, but I consoled myself that the office of President of the US was a mostly ceremonial job. How much damage could he cause?
A lot--especially with the help of his new friends.
So I make signs (UNPAID PROTESTER) and go to protests now. I write more letters to my representatives than I used to, and get responses to fewer of them than I used to. I squint at as much of the news as I can stand, then get up the next morning and squint some more.
And I wonder how we're possibly going to put this country back together again, after it finally ends.
When I woke up on Nov. 6, 2024, two words floated into my mind:
BUILD COMMUNITY
I've been sporadically trying to amplify voices worth hearing, show up to causes worth supporting, and share the entrepreneurial efforts of friends. Maybe this long-forgotten blog can also help build a bit of community, if anyone is reading blogs anymore. Glad you're here.
