20. Yeah. Me too.

I am deft at deflecting political argument because I’m a nurse—and I’m not about to get into arguments with patients. I see all kinds. See Fox News on TVs. Hear the coded racism white people like to use to convince themselves they aren’t racist. (If someone is overtly racist and is not delirious, we report them, and don’t allow any person of color to be subjected to it. Can’t kick em out)


I was talking to a friend. She’s half Latino. We know a lot of people in common. She was expressing shock “there are so many people who aren’t who I thought they were” and has also purged her RL friends list. There is nothing else to do.

You either stand for something or you don’t.

Two of my children, are ex-military and especially my oldest daughter turned out conservative, or, more conservative that I would like I should say, but none would consider voting for Trump. I would consider that a complete parenting failure—and I have enough of those. My children are good people, who want to give to their communities, and are not racist shitheads.
