My New Favorite Emoji

[mallorys_camera]

Inflation sky high? Market crashing? Senators from your own party treating you like a chump? COVID deaths mounting? Unable to string two sentences together?

Start a war!

This is such bullshit.

Ukraine has even less strategic importance to the U.S. than Iraq, Afghanistan, or even Kuwait unless you want to start making Neville Chamberlain comparisons.

Nazis! Whether you’re a politician or the anti-vax descendent of a second-rate political dynasty, always relevant!

Meanwhile…

I dreamed I was the mother of a little girl with Downs syndrome.

No other children. Just her.

I loved my little girl. But at the same time, I was deeply concerned about what her future would be. Would she ever (for example) learn to read?

Nothing much else to report.

Ichabod has introduced me to what I’m sure will become My New Favorite Emoji: 😱

My focus is inward.

It’s likely that once I finish the Work in Progress, nobody will have the slighteest interest in reading it.

But I can’t let that affect finishing it.

Doing it is what’s important.

Total agreement. I am so off the news lately, it shocks me that this is even a thing. Strange times, P. Glad you're hitting the keyboard.

I absolutely won't vote for Biden (or any of his surrogates) if his administration begins a military action in Ukraine.

To be fair, I really, really doubt it would be Biden to give go-ahead. He might look like groomed-but-senile red-tie, and might very well be one. But the current hassle, while giving him ample opportunities to misdirect (Ma, look, Reds are coming), is not his doing.

The Scream! Had you not seen it before? 😱

Not as an emoji. 😀
