If You Just Squint A Little...

 

Hi!

Ahhhhh, the great pyramids!  Well, if you squint a little and drum up the powers of pretend of your childhood, it could be.

Okay, maybe not pyramids... maybe gravel piles. But, if you squint just a little...

It seems like our neighbours south of the border are having to do a lot of squinting to make things look better than they are. It's getting downright scary. 

As comic relief, it was pretty entertaining watching the richest man in the world and the most powerful man in the USA go at each other like a couple of characters from 'Mean Girls." I mean, the insults and threats are far more dangerous than high school girls can generally muster, but the energy is the same. Can't wait to read the Burn Book!

Deporting people willy-nilly, with zero due process, no rhyme, no reason, just masked men scooping up random people, shoving them into unmarked vans and disappearing them. Nothin' to see there...

Just members of the National Guard being called upon to do their best to make peaceful protests look like Jan 6. Probably not exactly legal, but, nothing to see there...

Just trying to pass a bill that will most definitely cause the most vulnerable of citizens at least harm, if not outright death, but we all die, right, Senator Ernst? Nothing to see there...

Just the most powerful person in the USA rage tweeting absolute nonsense in the middle of the night, stumbling up airplane steps, falling asleep during important events, insulting heads of state at every turn, but Joe was the problem? Yeah, nothing to see there either...

They keep screaming about shutting down the borders... is that to keep people out or, at this point, keep people in?

If you squint just a little, you can see the MAGA mountain begin to crumble. 

I don't think we'll have to squint much longer...

On a brighter subject....

Happy Pride Month!!!!!

Before any of you come at me with the "Why do they need a whole month?" "Why do they need parades?" nonsense...

It's because you keep trying to pretend queer people don't exist. 

It's because you give side-eye whenever you see someone dressed unconventionally.

It's because you still can't wrap your head around the phrase "love is love."

It's because Pride Month makes you uncomfortable, unhappy, angry.. instead of joyous and fabulous!

It's because there are still far too many people who live in fear of being themselves.

So rainbow it up! Wear them, fly them on a flag, tattoo them if you want to! Let people know you are a safe place. That with you, they can relax, and just be themselves. 

If you just squint a little, you'll see that, hopefully very soon, rainbows will wrap the world...
