Stop It

Well, here we are. Concentration Camps in Texas for innocent kids that have been kidnapped from their parents by the American government.

Congratulations Republicans, you did it. You did this. Fox News helped you, Russia helped you, but ultimately, you did this. Your fearmongering, race-baiting, sick and twisted narrative, did this.

I've always wondered how pro-gun and pro-life go together. Turns out, they don't. You're pretend Christians. You have one god, money. That's why you let Trump do what he does.

That and I'm sure that the RNC data hack has something to do with your obediance to this shithead of a man. But, that's another story.

Here we have ignorant Americans calling asylum seekers, "Criminal Invaders". They are calling children, "Baby Criminals". They have disassociated and don't even see these poor people as human. That's what the Trump administration wanted and with Fox as the mouthpiece to these stupid guntoting racists, that's what they got.

Yes, they are stupid. Rural, uncultured, xenophobic, stupid, racists. Largely uneducated, largely male, largely white. The white women that voted for Trump are subservient to their husbands or whatever man controls them. This isn't make believe, I've seen with my own eyes how these women act. They have no sense of self. They do what their man wants them to. It's gross.

They call us the "Liberal Elite" or the "Coastal Elite". You know what? We are elite. We are elite because we see you. We see that you are close minded, frightened, evil people that hide behind the veil of religion. You don't believe in God. You believe in control. That's all you want.

You like Trump because he speaks to that darkness inside of you that says, "Yes, control them, get them out, make it white here, do it." It's really just disgusting.

What if we wanted to round all of you up and ship you off somewhere? You're the problem. Not us. I was brought up to believe that all people are the same. No one is better than anyone else. Mother's all over the world love their kids as much as we love ours but you can't see that. You lack empathy and compassion. You are the people that preach Jesus while rejecting His teachings. You use his name in vain every time you open your mouths and you will be judged.

The thing here is that we have freedom in the United States. Donald Trump instituted this policy to separate children from their parents. It's not a law. He's using children as leverage to get his wall. Fox News is spreading propaganda so that you stay afraid because as long as you're afraid, they win.

What are you afraid of? Brown people? Children? People seeking refuge?

You think they're taking your jobs? Many of the jobs they take are ones you don't want. Do you think they're coming here and pulling in six figures? They're not and you're likely not.

Many of the people trying to come here are harmless but Fox News amplifies the lie that they are in gangs or that they are drug dealers or rapists. It's awful.

I will say this, Mexico and other South American countries need to get their shit together. Perhaps the United States could help them get their shit together so that the citizens of those countries would actually want to live there. It's called being proactive and it's not something that humans are good at.

Do I sound angry? I am. I'm furious. These children deserve a chance. If their home country isn't giving them one, then we need to help their home country to stop sucking. If they need refuge, we need to let them try to get it. Obviously an oversimplification, but you get my point.

Why aren't we helping? Ohhhh that's RIGHT!!!! Drugs! I forgot all about that shadow government behind the Mexican government that pushes the drug trade. OH! And Panama and the money laundering! Right!

The world is fucking broken. If America is considered a place of refuge and we can help people, we should. It's not Christian to turn people away. There are ways to make it work. You just need people with the right ideas.

Puerto Rico needs to be rebuilt, give these refugees a home there, give them jobs rebuilding the island. What about Hawaii? I think they need help after the volcano. Give them jobs there. Why not? What's there to lose? They need refuge, Puerto Rico needs help. Fill the void. Keep families together.

Stop being evil.

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...
