I’ve been on Substack for just two days, and already, I feel like I can breathe again!
It’s like stepping outside after being locked in a room with no ventilation for years. Just air. A fresh, clean, unpolluted breeze that smells like possibility.
No algorithms squeezing my voice into some tiny little box. No MAGA trolls popping up every five minutes to call me an ape, a monkey, the n-word, the b-word, or the c-word, or threatening to r*pe or blow my brains out.
I never thought I would write. I never thought I would lay myself down and open myself up to be seen. I never considered a life lasting disease. Or even a short one.
I wasn’t writing for you. I was writing for me, for healing.
But I gave a copy to my social worker of my poem, “ A Farewell To Breasts” who gave it to a nurse who gave it to a patient and in the small world of my hospital, it went viral.
Now I can’t stop trying to get through this, this, unexpected, unwanted journey. Fear not, we can find joy!

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.
And so today is one more day, even here, when our nation does not focus upon why DJT should not be elected as president, why he is incompetent for the job, how Project 2025 stands to impact our nation and millions of people within it in profound and unprecedented ways, and other issues that should be the talking points in what may well become the most important election in American history. Instead we get wall-to-wall coverage of the Stay Joe or Go Joe Show.
The Trump campaign is holding its fire regarding the debate, waiting until we really are stuck with Biden as the nominee, until they unleash unrelenting, vicious, and irrefutable attacks on Biden's present fitness for another four years. No Democratic Biden supporter wants Biden to be the nominee more than Trump. Once we're really stuck, Biden will get destroyed by a nuclear ad campaign.
Nonsense. They started the whole Joe is old and senile shit a long time ago and the media lapped it up. And why did they do that? To weaken the ONE candidate who beat him once and can do it again.
