Something new for me is happening [View all]

For the first time in my life I’m beginning to actually feel physically ill at the very sound of certain people’s voices.

I can’t watch Sarah Huckabee anymore. She sounds like a machine gun yelling at the press and it’s making me nauseated. The woman on before her talking about the evils of immigrants also had that rat-a-tat-tat machine gun sound. It’s like listening to a surreal version of a very bad story which gets repeated every day and never ends, making me grit my teeth in jaw aching frustration. It makes my teeth hurt. It’s like smelling days old skunk that got run over on the freeway every time you pass that spot.

I now get a pounding headache as well as a queasy sick feeling when I hear Trump’s voice and his right eye is looking more evil every time I see him. It’s slanted like a twisted bad cartoon of an Evil Eye sending pieces of his rotted soul to everything he looks at.

Toads and scorpions and smelly shitty things might as well come slithering out of their mouths and I don’t think I can watch and listen to them much longer. I’m going to have to come to DU once again to keep my sanity and my health! I’m so glad I can do that. I need you for my health!
