A Month of Blogging Again

I decided to blog every day in April.

It’s been a while since I was blogging a lot. 

It’s seems like I’m either all in or that I don’t blog at all. 

It was good to blog again every day this month. 

I don’t know if I want to keep going right now or not. 

I stopped because it felt like one more thing to do. 

It is a good platform though and good practice. 

I think I will try to keep blogging again even if its not everyday.

A More Compassionate Tomorrow

Times are bad.

Times are weird.

A lot of us aren’t working.

A lot of us are working less.

We are all afraid.

We are all wondering what is next.

It’s proof to me that we need a society to be better to those in need.

To be better to those in crisis.

That doesn’t spend a huge amount of money investing in “welfare fraud”. But instead looks for the blatant fraud of the rich and connected.

A society where you don’t have to arrange a bake sale or the modern equivalent a GoFundMe when you get sick or have cancer.

A society where it doesn’t matter if you work to have access to care.

One where you don’t need tens of thousands of debt to pursue education.

One that allows people to express their creative freedom.

One that allows people to fall and come back again.

One with excellent mental health access.

One where we don’t have to fear being a paycheck away from struggling.

Where people don’t use paycheck loans to pay the rent or for a credit card.

We can and must do better.

This crisis proves it.

Toy Story 4 **1/2

Very disappointing. 

I’m not sure why it was made. 

Forky may be the worst character of the series. 

Sometimes trash is just trash. 

Ridiculous too. 

I guess Pixar can have some misses occasionally. 

Oddly tense too and full of bad decisions. 

Meh.

Free Solo ***1/2

One of the tensest movies I have ever seen. 

Beautiful, challenging, insane. 

I have absolutely no desire to free climb. 

I find belay climbing hard enough as it is. 

I’m glad Alex Honnold survived free climbing the 3200 feet of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without a partner, rope or belay. 

I can understand the challenge, but would rather just hike. 

Beautiful movie and worth seeing. 

***1/2

We are all out of it. 

This crisis is draining us.

And that’s okay.

Be kind to yourself. 

Get some rest. And realize things are harder now.
