Protests

We tried. Twice. We drove up to Kingston, NH for a protest but when we got there there were only a couple of people holding signs in a park. We changed direction and headed to Billerica, MA where there was a big rally going on in the town common. We tried to stop but there wasn’t any place to park and well… at the risk of TMI… there were full bladder issues that needed attending.

We will do better next time, and I promise there will be a next time. Until then, here’s a cat.

Economic Blackout

I don’t know how many americans are in on this plan, but I am. Friday, February 28th, let’s not spend any money anywhere if we can avoid it. Let’s see if a big chunk of the population can make a small ripple in the billionaires’ bank accounts and then see what happens.

I’m game if you all are.

#ProudBlue#50501MovementDon’t forget! Stay home if you can, don’t buy gas, don’t order online, don’t spend a dime. Make your voice heard with the economic blackout on 2/28.

New Morning Ritual

It is really hard to act like life is normal and progressing nicely or anything like that when every morning one of the first thoughts I have is, “I wonder what fresh hell the nazis got up to last night.”

I mentioned in a post yesterday that I wished I could have joined in on the 50501 presidents day protests yesterday but I couldn’t. I will join in on the fun on the 28th when we do that boycott all business thing, but that’s really nothing special. I think there are more days that I don’t spend any money on anything than those that I do. It’s just going to be another Friday for me.

When New England, New York, and New Jersey secede from the union and form a new nation together, who should we elect as our first President? Elizabeth Warren or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? I’d be good with either of them.
