I got a DM that was only equal to hatred of another human 1 time in all my Web years. I posted about it. And pulled a very un-Molly and deleted it all.
Take your hate. I'm angry, but I'm not going to fall into being a hater.

That is truly kind and observant. I've had people tell me I seek attention to prove I'm a 'genius'.
Do I seek attention? Oh hell yeah. But the reason is a desperate desire for family, love, acceptance and a sense of place. I found it. Music. My husband. Culture. Words. Friends.

That was some very high end over-the-pond tea that splorched right out of my nose FTW!
Except that shit is easier to get rid of... :P

A confession: I have not yet acknowledged that one of my greatest mentors living in New York City was diagnosed with Covid. Our legendary Web design industry leader beloved @Zeldman - improving despite the pain.
I love you Jeffrey.
Somehow, I'm here still. You will be too. 馃

Recently a friend got angry when I expressed anguish. He publicly responded "This is not about you."
It reminded me my motivations are to help others and destroy myself. So it is about me because it's also about you. It is about Justice without blindness.
It's called "woke."

People have misunderstood me my whole life. Certainly we all are at times and it's never a good feeling. What many see as incessant tragedy is not even equal to the love and joy and care I experience even in the darkest of times.

One race, different tribes. We are capable of enormous change as individuals and groups. I will vote against genocide despite not being impressed by anyone who has stepped up as a potential candidate. I hate that I have to, and I have to because multiculturalism is how we learn.

Despite losing most voter rights as a Libertarian, that's the point of my rationale: We can't have a "party" of strength because we embrace inidividual ideals and scale up, not follow a party line. But we can as "Left" Libertarians vote through action, study and community care.

Am I relieved for myself? SO MUCH! It took decades of my life to receive any benefits of worth here. I am however extremely concerned that those who need it most are falling through cracks for not having information, computers, skills, literacy, advocacy, immigration status etc.

Now I have a social worker, telehealth, @UHC care, AHCCCS/Medicaid support and now an Ombudsman to resolve specific issues to my region. Our state is the 3d lowest in healthcare workers (CA and NV are lowest) along with the PRECISELY named Arizona Health Cost Containment System.

No matter, @SenMcSallyAZ (R) and @SenatorSinema (D) are championing a "bi-partisan" healthcare initiative. McSally remains loyal to Trump but is at least showing up. Sinema added 35 state social workers for high-risk patients. I emailed and in less than a day I began to get help.

I'm a registered Libertarian, left leaning with less government and far more community human-to-human communities and individual/local/F2F problem solving without partisanship. Most people are not one thing, nor are we binary or linear. We are multitudes: Good, bad, wrong, right.

Gratitude recitation. I live in #Arizona which is the last contiguous US state. We have horrible social issues due to many reasons in comparison to many other states - corruption, water supply, #GOP but really a mix of civil and uncivil , US and Non-US #Libertarian attitudes.

If you are not getting the care you need much less paid for your entire working life, killing US healthcare with kindness does not work. SHAME does.
And that itself is the real shame. #ForAllHumanity #Love #Care #Kindness #HEALTH
If you don't think shame and blame isn't effective, think again. Decades of abuse and finally someone cares about #healthcare. Why? I jumped when @SenatorSinema of #Arizona put 35 social workers in play. I wrote on a Sunday and heard from a caseworker the next day. #JUSTICE #FTW

Get state EBT and FIS access for existing legal recipients. Legaliize EBT for online food delivery services. If I'm doing your part and you're not doing yours, there's a problem.

No doubt it鈥檚 going to be a rough week, but remember the virus spreads person to person, and the way we defeat it is one person at a time.
Each and everyone of you has the power to #slowthespread. I know we can do this America! 馃挭馃徑馃憞馃徑

These days, without question. And also helping humans, which is called growing up and owning mistakes and making them right. I am learning the importance of this, and therefore I see him in a very different light than 30 years ago, that's for sure.

My EBT card was stolen. FIS website has locked me out and I've been on hold for over an hour because I DON'T HAVE A CASE NUMBER listening to music that sounds intentionally awful so we just hang up. You are not sorry about delays or you'd do your jobs NO MATTER WHAT. #SHAMEONYOU
