report from the road, so to speak, (and its ugly) [View all]

still feel lousy as fuck , but a couple of reports from the road,

I go to the Y at least 4 times a week, and I have been for years. The Y is a complete inclusion place, they are set up for disabilities of all kinds. They even have a crane chair to get immobile people into the pool. It is a “hangout” for many, especially senior disables, they hang in the hottub and exchange recipes and shit. It is their refuge, their social life. It is their place to be part of the human race. Anyway, today, yesterday and Weds, they were nowhere to be seen, which is very very very off. 3 days and no one, out of the many, I can only imagine the heartbreak and fear they are feeling.

Today, I am at work (a hotel), our Spanish speaking workers can’t even look up. The fear on the faces is just about killing me. Lots of hugs between us tho 

My daughter texted me, that all (ok some) crypto bro hoes, and their pals have a new slogan. “Their Body, Our Choice”. I post a copy of the comments, but I swear, I will throw up.

Anyway, my observations. It’s already getting ugly
