Finding balance in routine and falling into the steps of adulthood is tricky! I share a chunk of my experience here in my new post.

BREAKING

Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading?

IT'S HAPPENING.

James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but EVERY FUCKING RETAILER needs to show the tariffs next to the price -- not just Amazon.

Walmart, Target (where I do not shop), ALL OF THEM. It's a fucking tax, why shouldn't we see it?

I want to know exactly how much trump's tariffs are jacking my prices up. DON'T YOU?

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

VERY unpopular opinion:

Humans were never meant to be this busy that’s why everybody is anxious and depressed.

Educate yourself.

When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it.

Read, read, read.

Study, learn, and stimulate your brain.

Don't just rely on the school system; educate your beautiful mind.

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.

I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.

I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

I'm not concerned about the undocumented immigrant with some parking and speeding tickets. I'm concerned about the American citizen with 34 felony convictions who is driving America right into a fucking ditch.

only been on substack for a day and it already feels like this.

I am at a loss for words that adequately describe how vile and nauseating all of this is.

Mark, what you said.......just unbelievable.

Unfortunately, it is entirely believable. Expected, even, for any state in the Confederacy and several outside the Confederacy. Republicans will exert every lever of power they have to preserve white domination of government at all levels.

Elisabeth Iler's avatar

Rex, the south is still practicing apartheid.

Sometimes I'm not overly proud of being Southern. I don't even have much of an accent. Maybe my subconscious is making me more Northern. This cousin manages to use " Y'all " as if she's channeling Paula Deen. She even put it in a speech.

They didn’t have me in the first place but this is bang on.

The CPC lost me in Feb 2022 when Polievere served coffee and donuts to the convoy crazies. For three years after that, it was nothing but name calling, conspiracy theories, culture wars and lies.

Oh, and handholding with the far right.

And now they want to pivot and be taken seriously.

Nope.

I should warn you all this is going to be a bit sweary.

I live in Elizabeth Mays riding, which is Saanich and the Gulf Islands and most of the campaign signs went up on Saturday.

At the corner of the street that runs from the city of Sidney across the Pat Bay Highway there are everybody’s election signs as well as all the other signs they’re allowed to put up on public property.

When I was crossing the highway this morning I had to to laugh.

So there’s the conservative candidates big sign with …
