I believe that we will see the end of this authoritarian catastrophe

3. My dog is close friends with a French bulldog

She is a pit/German shep mix. She's going to be 13 in a little over a week - adopted from NY Animal Care and Control. It was her last day before the bad thing when I adopted her (she was a little under 1).

She play bowed and they had a nice interaction, and my neighbor (Cuban conservative) remarked how pretty my princess dog was.

There is goodness everywhere and as hard as some try to constrain it, it always breaks free.

Amor vincit omnia, and all that shit.

There are days when I am down, angry, and feeling lost. Thankfully, for me, with my privilege, it has passed. You all, this weird parasocial forum of which I am a member, helps with that.


The hearts help, and I wanted to share my naive belief that our fight isn't in vain. Most here are a bit older (not too much) and so they have seen more battles and have every right to be more jaded and more scared.

If you were my neighbor, I'd be there to help.

I think there are a lot of bombers and a lot of Pu-239, and there is a reason to worry. But my core says this may be the end of the American empire, but it isn't the end of democracy and liberalism.



PS -- My dog, Cooper, votes Democrat. She is registered in Florida like I am and votes as many times as possible. But she is a Bronx girl, and I'm from Manhattan.
