Perpetual Drafts of the Perpetually Daft

39 Days to Election Day 20 Day until Early Voting starts in NC I'm in possum survivor mode today (also last Monday). When I read this years from now, I wonder if I'll know what cryptic meaning I meant. Good luck, future me!

 *Less than 50 days to election day* Often times these days, when I come across the news, I wonder, will we even make it to January if we actually kick that fascist racist clown out of office? Like literally, I am wondering will we be alive then. Even if he loses - and the idea that he even has a chance of winning is terrifying - we are at a point that it won't be a surprise if he just burns the whole thing down with him. That's where we are.

*54 Days to Election Day*   We can’t say “never forget” without also sharing what we remember.  This is how we form that collective memory to ensure we won’t ever forget. Tell your story. I want to know - where were you that day? What do you remember?   Every September 11, since that first one, I always reflect on the lives lost, but also where I was and where my family was that day. Before this year, I thought it was self-indulgent to share where I was, what I remembered since I didn’t lose anyone directly. This makes no sense, because when others share what they remember from that day, I am riveted and not once think of their sharing of memory is self-indulgent at all. We need to share these things, every year, again, and again because if we stop sharing, we start forgetting.
