Sea Lions at La Jolla Cove/Point La Jolla (March 30, 2025) |
One of the many things happening right now is that the administration of TFG and fElon is moving so fast, that nobody can even react to one thing before another thing and another and another happens, but let's be clear: their path of destruction knows no end, greed and power is what drives them, and the cruelty is the point. Whenever I read articles talking about what the consequences of an action could be, they're like "important science won't happen" or "people will lose jobs" or "{discriminated/underserved/poor} will lose XYZ access and benefit." And all of that is EXACTLY THE POINT. You are a number. You don't matter. Your life is an inconvenience to the Uber wealthy after the extent that they can work you to your literal death and steal any prosperity you earned or to which you are entitled. FUCK ALL OF THEM. Tuesday was the first day I've felt political joy in years, as Wisconsin turned out and turned up. And it will be incredible to see and share all of the rallies happening on Saturday. If for ANY reason you're not able to actively attend a rally, you can amplify and share and spread the word of all the great and peaceful actions you witness. Every drop matters.
Besides all of that, I've been super busy. Toby had a school jazz performance on Thursday, perhaps his last of his senior year, I did Sawyer Hill on Friday, CG5 on Saturday, and the Swing Kids/Angonista show on Sunday. Then it was Trans Day of Visibility on Monday, I did Bob Mould & Craig Finn on Tuesday, and two hours of family therapy on Wednesday, getting us all ready for some very big things in Toby's affirmation journey. Thursday I'll be at the Smithereens show and then no set in stone plans besides trying to get my ass to the rally on Saturday and shooting Stereophonics next Wednesday. Exciting and scary and anxiety inducing and gotta-find-the-joy times we are living in.
Nolite te bastardes carborundorum. Stay safe out there. Look out for each other, because the government has officially quit on all of us.
