Uneasy feelings baby steps

People with uneasy feelings can now ban books and turn businesses away from lgbtq costumers.

Next step could easily be not serving people of color if it makes someone feel uneasy.

We are moving backwards at rocket speed.

Pandora’s box is wide open thanks to the Supreme Court.

As an old slide librarian

Doesn’t the photo of the recovery of the balloon from China remind you of The Raft of the Medusa?

I love the lighting, the contrast and the drama in the photo.

Atticus's post was right on, I want to add

another tried an true approach that could blend with his ideas.

My in-laws were MAGAs before MAGAs got their name, they were all about guns and vile hatred.
We lived on the same property.
We were called squatters, f…ing hippies, nature lovers etc. The brother would kill birds and rabbits and lay them in the center of our road with a circle spray painted around them to frighten us. He would throw nails on our road to flatten our tires.

We tried everything to change things. Reason including calling police never worked.
Eventually we found their Achilles heal. It was happiness.
We would go outside and sing at the top of our lungs. It worked. They hated it and it helped our kids and us feel in control of our own space. We sang and sang and sometimes we banged on pans along with the songs. My pans wobbled on the burners after that but it was healing. We also waved happily and tooted our car horns when we passed them on the road.

What if communities sent choirs, bands, quartets, comedians, dancers, poets to drop boxes and polling places. They would perform 75 ft away from the drop box. They could even create songs and poems about the drop box. It would be filmed.

The news would cover them not the shit heads AND it would piss off the shit heads to their core.

It would lift the community. It would be cathartic. Voters would feel safe.
