On this, the anniversary of our nation's birth, partisanship has become inextricably entwined in our lives. Now the only way through is to embrace a third way that bypasses the swamp the major parties have created. That's why from now on I'm pronouncing the G in "gif" like the G in "gila monster"

Being really annoying is praxis. Phone, email, fax, show up in person if that’s an option. Just don’t let up until you’re too irritating to ignore.

See? The media can push a "get out of the race" narrative when it wants to. It just only wants to for a subpar debate performance, not 34 felonies committed to win an election.

Think of climate change like a high speed train heading for a wall. There’s a huge difference between hitting the wall at full speed and slowing the train down as much as possible before you get there. There’s no such thing as β€œtotally doomed” - we CAN slow down the train!

One of the biggest things my friends with mobility aids did for me was help me realize I don't have to prove anything to use a shower stool or a cane with a seat on it. I was in a really bad spot with my POTS, and those things have given me so much back--even if I've only had to use the cane once!
