Lies

There is nothing I despise more than a lie.

Lies, when repeated often enough, can be believed by the person that fabricated them.

Never before in our country have we had a president that lies so constantly, with a base that believes him so completely that has a news station to amplify him. It is horrendous, it is dangerous.

We need to mobilize, we need to stop this. If not now, when? If not us, who?

These children can't speak for themselves. They're minors. Some younger than my three year old. It pains me to think of either of my children in captivity, away from me, with no clear path back to me. How can they do this? How can any government do this?

I think of their little faces, their eyes, already filled with fear of being in a new place, feeling solace only from the embrace of their parents and then the mean men take them away and put them in cages. This is traumatic.

A senator, I think, Steve King, said that Abortion is the true final separator of child from mother and that this immigration policy isn't that. Might I say, editorially, that this man is a disgusting human being? Okay, that said, this isn't about abortion. It's about the fact that these children were born, carried in their mother's wombs, they are wanted, they are loved and now, the American government is forcibly taking these children away. The American government is taking the children away from mother's that believed in being pro-life. They believed in carrying their babies to term and they believe in trying to give them a new life. A new life. A new beginning. Not trauma. Not detention. Not cages. Not strange men in uniform. Not sadness and terror away from their parents.

This action does not make our border secure. This action does not improve the safety of the United States. I've seen the pictures, these people are not terrorists. They are coming here to seek asylum, which is NOT against the law.

What this does, is make our border more insecure. It causes more unrest in the countries along our border. Donald Trump is literally kidnapping their children without any plans for how to reunite them with their parents. He is holding them hostage for a wall along that border and has said as much nationally, on television.

The President of the United States is a terrorist. Fox News is his terrorist mouthpiece and his followers are too stupid to realize that they are likely next on his list.

There is no bottom to the depths of his evil. Stop the hypocrisy. Stop saying, "But Obama" and "But Bill Clinton," and "But Hillary" and instead say, "THIS IS WRONG AND IT MUST STOP!"

40 by 40: Day 5 Leg Day

Leg day, ahhh, leg day. I actually like leg day because I don't have to do push-ups. I have wrist issues. However, my hamstrings were twitching like mad and walking up to Beacon Hill from Back Bay was way more straining than usual. My first weight check was Friday, May 25th: 183 Today, I weighed myself (a week later) and: 179.5 Goal: 143 Remaining to lose: 36.5 Just seeing the numbers go down is so motivating because I know that what I am doing is working. I am also totally aware of the fact that the first few pounds go away easily and it's the stubborn last few that linger, but I'm on my way. Hell, I've done it before. I can't blog too long today. I have a fire to put out. But tomorrow I have more cardio and while I hate it I know it's important. Talk soon L

Reasonable Accommodation

Months ago, I submitted a Reasonable Accommodation request to my employer requesting to work from home three days per week due to anxiety. They denied the request claiming that "as a Project Manager" I need to be present in the office every day but they are open to alternatives. I went back to my doctor who said I need either, a) the ability to work from home up to one day per week as needed, and/or b) a private office. She cited all of my issues, none of which are physical impairments but that manifest in physical ways. As a person who has been suffering with depression and anxiety her entire life, I work hard to overcome it, and asking for help is not an easy thing to do. So, today when they again said, "no" I found myself annoyed beyond comprehension. This is the conversation as I recall it: HR Rep: We don't have any open offices to give you, and since you are required in the office we can't allow you to work from home. Me: I see plenty of open ...

It has really come to this...

Today, May 2nd, 2018, begins like every other since Donald Trump decided to run for president. He tweets, the media reacts, it occupies the headlines until he tweets again. It has become a vicious cycle that has done nothing but exacerbate an already dangerous threat to our democracy. Yesterday, news broke that the President of the United States ordered his personal attorney and a couple of body guards to steal his medical records from his previous doctor. News also broke, from the mouth of the former doctor, that Trump faked a doctor's note that claimed he was the healthiest person to ever be elected president. Let's put aside the complete audaciousness of what I wrote above and ask a few questions. Why did Donald Trump need to fake a doctor's note about his health? What would the truth reveal? Why did he order people barge into a medical office to steal his medical records? Why did Donald Trump use pseudonyms at the doctor? Was the order to raid the doctor...
