of people in my geographic circle who are of like minds to support one another.
This really is a good use of time and in its own way subversive in this moment and environment.
It is taking a lot of energy to try and remove myself from the way I usually would have reacted. But we are in a place where the usual tactics will not work.
One other thing I will be doing is spending nearly zero dollars on anything but food and gas and my normal household bills.
I will of course be checking into DU and spouting off when the moment calls to me.
Love you all after nearly 20 years, you are my online community and a steady rock throughout. Somehow we will make it through this. Do not let this sick man rob you of your happiness in your life.
