I’m disheartened. And I know I’m not the only one.
If you’ve noticed it’s been quiet on my blog lately, I’m going to be completely honest with you: I’ve been exhausted.
It feels like every single day brings a new wave of absurdities and heartbreaks. We are watching basic scientific safety and public health protections stripped away. We’re watching critical programs dismantled while spectacle, gold-plating, and vanity projects take priority over substance. We’re watching families ripped apart, military families targeted, and human dignity treated like a secondary thought.
And on top of it all, the financial corruption and shameless hypocrisy make your stomach turn. While regular families are struggling to afford basic groceries and deciding if they can even buy hamburger meat, the wealthy elite in power are raking in billions, executing thousands of stock trades, and gorging on luxury while telling working people to suck it up. It is sickening.
I’ve found myself typing out the same arguments, feeling the exact same outrage, and wondering how many different ways I can write about the same systemic cruelty before it just becomes noise. It is draining, and it makes you want to throw your hands up in despair.
But I refuse to let my blog, this page, or the pushback just fade away into silence.
Right now, rather than just shouting into the void about the endless stream of news, I want to write about what you need to hear. Where should we shine the light? What specific topic, policy, or story do you want broken down right now? Is there an issue you want research on, or something you're trying to make sense of yourself?
Drop a comment or send a message. I am still here, I am still standing, and we are going to keep speaking out - even when it's exhausting. ❤️
