Fuzzy

Inhale Peace; Exhale Love. Joy will Follow! - RUELHA

When you think of Fuzzy
Think of him as a pot of honey.

Enveloping you with moist kisses.
Who filled your lives with sweetness.

A member of your family.
To whom love came naturally.

Be at peace with these thoughts.
That he still loves you lots.

He's just moved a little away.
Because God called him today.

Those years that you spent with him.
With joy and love, a synonym.

He's so happy that you were the one there.
In those last moments to hold and care.

So honour Fuzzy by being happy.
Because that's how he'd like to see.

Each and every one of you.
This is what you, his family should do.

Smile and think of him fondly.
He'd want you to handle this strongly.

A Pair Of Mini-Rants — Filosofa’s Word

I actually had three things to rant about today, but I ran out of time and space, so I shall have to save the third for another day … Lies, Denials, and False Equivalencies The Republicans who are falsely claiming that the attack on Congress and the Capitol on January 6th was little more than […]

Is Our Democracy In Danger?

In Saner Thought

There is so much chaos in this country these days.

Misinformation and lies are driving this chaos.

So to answer my own question….yes it is…and it is in deep danger.

From denial of science to the denial of elections to voter suppression and most of all this chaos can be laid at the feet of the GOP.

And all this chaos grows from the policies put forth by state GOPs……the obstruction and the denial of real policies that move the state forward they focus on cultural crap that has NO place in the legislatures of this country……stuff like bathrooms, abortions, who we can boycott or not….silly shit that has no business taking up the time of elected representatives.

I ask again….is our democracy in danger?

Research is showing that it IS in danger and GOP lead states are the cause….

Georgia passed a restrictive new voting law that, in effect,

‘A new Chile’: political elite rejected in vote for constitutional assembly | Chile | The Guardian

Chile’s established political elite has been roundly rejected at the polls six months ahead of a pivotal presidential election, as the country turned to a progressive new generation to write the next chapter in its history.

Resounding victories for leftist and independent candidates saw rightwing politicians crash to dismal electoral defeats alongside those with links to Chile’s transition to democracy.

Nurse who cared for Boris Johnson resigns over ‘lack of respect’ for NHS workers | NHS | The Guardian

Jenny McGee, who kept vigil by the prime minister’s bedside for two days when he was in intensive care, also revealed that his staff had later attempted to co-opt her into a “clap for the NHS” photo opportunity with him during what she thought would be a discreet thank you visit to Downing Street.

“We’re not getting the respect and now pay that we deserve. I’m just sick of it. So I’ve handed in my resignation,” said McGee, referring to the government’s proposed 1% pay rise for NHS staff, which unions have described as a “kick in the teeth”.

She was also critical of the government’s handling of the Covid crisis, adding: “Lots of nurses felt that the government hadn’t led very effectively – the indecisiveness, so many mixed messages. It was just very upsetting.”
