recalibrating
Feb. 9th, 2017 04:42 pmSo, recalibrating.
What I've decided is that it's everyone's personal responsibility to stay informed and be aware of the outrages being perpetrated daily (which has been the case since well before this egregous uptick in awfulness, btw), to be aware that things perpetrated by these lying fucks are already impacting the lives of people and other animals in serious, injurious, and life-threatening ways. Further to that, here are a couple of links to resources for staying informed, if you don't already:
- Stephanie Leary's Fascism Watch, a good general rundown: http://s-leary.tumblr.com/tagged/fascism-watch
- What the Fuck Just Happened Today: https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/
- The Guardian, which has become my news source of choice (consider throwing some money their way): https://www.theguardian.com/us
I can't let those horrible people take up so much real estate in my brain and imagination, I need it for better, much more attractive, things. Given the state of my lungs and other health issies...I just don't want to waste my beautiful mind on them. And, as it says in this nice little op-ed piece from Arianna Huffington, "The goal of any true resistance is to affect outcomes, not just to vent. And the only way to affect outcomes and thrive in our lives, is to find the eye in the hurricane, and act from that place of inner strength."
