As I peer back at history, while surveying the fractured, polarized mess that is America today, one thing is clear — the lessons that carried a Greek army home through hostile lands are just as relevant now as they were 2,400 years ago.
Appreciate the gut level attitude and approach to our collective survival. In true reality however, I know that people who are 'older' will probably die before we ever see a resolution to the current plague of fascism and corporate greed. But, I still fight to stay afloat upon my principles of self reliance and truth finding where and how I still can. I will NOT entertain AI in any form that I can detect. I rejoiced that China beat our ass over the product and elitists who thought they had the market cornered. At my age (86) I will be glad to be "out of here" knowing what our nation and our world is headed for. No worries. I'm good with my realities.
This week, I started taking five actions a day from Climate Action Now. They have a great app that makes it easy to do. I dumped Facebook off my phone and now have plenty of time gained from the 20 minutes a day I spent reflectively watching Reels of cats, dogs, old war movie scenes, or whatever. I feel more engaged, empowered, and a part of something bigger just from this small addition to my day. Time to step up, people! Pick your issue. Do your bit!
It will ask for a pledge, but it is voluntary. Generally the actions are sending policy emails to your elected officials, signing petitions and reading on current issues.
