On the subject of light
Fiftyfiftyone is a grassroots movement, people from all fifty states united in one movement, resistance of all kinds. We can do this.
About darkness, the literal kind, I'm waking very early for me, around five am, and getting up to have breakfast while I watch the dawn. Simple pleasure. With only myself to attend to, I can rest later if I need to, so getting up very early is possible.
I'm continuing my second glove today, with an audio book.
And reading later
I've read this before, a few years ago, and it's still good reading. The war in question is WWI. My mother used to talk about the wonderful hot summer before war broke out, and my dad joined up.
They married in 1918, after he'd been wounded in the battle of the Somme, then spent long months in rehab learning to walk again. He was in a country house, as described in The Hazelbourne Ladies, where the family home is to be used as a rehab hospital. Downton Abbey likewise, if you remember. Except my dad did it in real life. Aged 22.
Happy day, everyone, enough looking back, now it's looking ahead and working for better days. Starting for me with a message to the Attorney General of Wisconsin asking about the illegality of M**k's offering money for votes in the upcoming Supreme Court election.
And yesterday I was looking for a way to message SecDef Hegseth, ended up reporting the intelligence blunder as a technical problem! And got a solemn acknowledgment. I was thinking of the old mechanic joke about the car, needing to fix the nut behind the wheel.
Honestly, if you can't have a bit of fun with resistance, what are we fighting for?
