12. You, me, and others -- we get one day for this.

Nov 6

Crying, primal screaming, and punching walls can be cathartic.

Just one day for this -- then we must look clear-eyed at what's coming.

I have a MAGA neighbor. He was outside bragging earlier. There's no way I'll let this guy see me being down. I will give him no liberal tears to drink.
