Here we are. It’s curious that today it feels like I am back “in control”. I guess what that means is that I have started putting a timetable on my day, coffee, work, lunch prep and work and then knock off. Dinner prep and family, then heads down. I actually was able to be a bit more myself last night—and feel that though we are in a very scary time, the little flutter of hope is brushing me with her wings.
I also am finding myself noticing new things, new opportunities, new changes. I guess it’s not me to be so put off by self proclaimed influencers, movie stars, and “dopes” sheltering in place and essentially continuing to put this national emergency “on brand” versus giving back, contributing and doing more than the vacuous bullshit that has gotten them this fame and fortune just like the grifter con in the White House. The Times did a great article really playing out the idea that this type of empty celebrity culture is really not playing these days—and for that, I am forever grateful. Let’s celebrate true talent. Let’s celebrate the givers and not the takers. Let’s celebrate the visionaries and creators. Not the empty suits and hairdos.
The New York Times has an article today of how to sew a facemask. WHAT!! If you had told me on St. Patricks Day that we would be seeing this in less than two weeks, I would have told you—you were crazy.
Then, it turns out there is the FyreFest 2020 out there. These “super cool” people have a house that you, once you are approved, can join a community of people (musicians, artists, thinkers etc) essentially on their private “cruise ship” with a medical professional etc. It is totally pukalicious. What do you think? I am now hot on all the quickly patched together opportunities that are out there. Harbor.im
And the lying, grifting and deflection continues out of Washington. If Trump can turn this tragedy and somehow hogtie Hillary and Obama into it, he will continue to try. The lies, the supercilious smirkers (yes, Pompeo, you) the bootlickers (Mister VP), the heinous family complete with Kitty Meow Meow, Ms. Perfect Revelations Barbie—trying to skate on top of all of this—trying to be relevant and build her god damned brand. It is, disgusting. I mean, the Kimberly Guilfoyle 50th Birthday party (funded by lobbyists) at Mar-a Lago was a brilliant way to expose a broad group of the Republican elite. This too, will develop in time. But the brazen grift of actually asking folks to fund her party, going to local liquor distributors for cases of wine/champagne to just outright cash gifts…because she is the girlfriend of the son of 45— another lying cheater who manipulates the system to get his “bit” from money to leaning on governments to give him the opportunity to kill rare animals. His white nationalism is ignorant and speaks to “the base” which I guess works for his family.
Where is Melania? and Barron? Where is Tiffany?
Fauci continues to be a beacon of truth as does our remarkable Governor, Andrew Cuomo.
