No, I’m Not Feeling Better
I’m not feeling better today. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t laugh a little, and The Onion always does an amazing job when the shit hits the fan.
Then there are memes, like this one, which would be funny if they didn’t feel so true.
And this one.
Here’s one, I think from the first Women’s March. We are tired and angry, but as Harris said yesterday, we cannot stop fighting for a better future.
And lastly, here’s a meme of encouragement. Thanks you guys, for being that light for me.

I like the women’s march sign! That is a good one! Sorry you are not feeling better; keep your head up!

I love The Onion. This is hilarious, and I forwarded it to several people. I like the article in the lower left corner- “Supporters of Basic Human Dignity Taken Down a Notch.”
We need to band together, not lose hope, be kind to one another, and… laugh a little. It definitely helps.

Thanks for the smile!

America defeats America! That’s the first time I’ve seen that slogan…and it says it all.

Nothing much helps right now, but that first headline is clever.

Oh, pisstified is the exact word!

“Pistified” is the word I needed to know! Thanks for it and the laugh via The Onion.

Great post, J. The last quote is very powerful.

Pistified is an apt description. I am still processing what our nation chose. There are so many things to be terrified. Like RFK in charge of health and human services? What is that lunatic going to do to the FDA and CDC? And that is just scratching the surface in terms of the impacts of this vote. But clearly the democratic party needs to do some work. I thought Ezra Klein’s analysis on his pod was good. If the party couldn’t defeat someone as problematic as Trump, the party has clearly lost its way.

Oh, I love that Angela Davis quote (“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept”). I hope I see her again at the annual conference next week. My photo with her is my all-time treasure.

And Pisstified is the word I didn’t know I needed!
Hang in there, Jules.
