I cane here to see if I could resurrect this blog for another post I wanted to make. I honestly thought maybe Google killed this site like it had eaten so many of its other babies and was curious if I could even log in. You’ll have to forgive the somewhat trite nature of the next post, concerning what I’m about to say.
For shits & giggles, I thought, what was the last thing I wrote 14 gd years ago? Holy fuck! Reading it made it all come rushing back as I sat here just this morning listening to how the Dumptruck in Chief was sending feds in armored cars to the city I now call home in the PNW. Fuck that guy with extreme prejudice.
It made me mad that so many (albeit well-intentioned) people sat on their hands a decade and a half ago - or worse, talked shit about the Occupy movement - and let us get to where we are now.
There’s a lot to unpack about my disillusionment with California that led me to come back to the PNW. Suffice it to say that the current governor is taking macho selfies while dismantling homeless camps and Silicon Valley elites were proudly on display at the last inauguration.
My inclination is to ask us to do better, but I don’t know if we can at this point. At least build community where you can because I feel like it’s going to get a lot worse very soon and the good folks need networks to survive.
