What have I signed away?
"It's just that the balls quotient of everything has become distressingly high, you know?" I said to ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

Especially since I had written a letter to Mayor Wu and the Boston City Council about it, it was nice to read that Boston has declared itself an LGBTQIA2s+ sanctuary city. At the moment it is primarily a statement rather than an implementation of policies, but it is a statement I am happier to see the city have decided to make than not.
Tonight I wrote letters to both of my senators and to the minority leader of the Senate whose twenty-four-hour about-face on blocking the further democracy-destroying Republican-pushed funding bill certainly didn't help the optics of Democratic Jell-O in action. I hope they are read and make any difference. The brakes-off feel has been only accelerating.
How is this year going? I haven't even made hamantashn for Purim. I did manage to light the candle for my grandmother's yahrzeit. I saw some beautifully sun-fired birch bark while out walking and had a conversation which improved when it turned from contemporary politics to Phanerozoic extinction events. The lunar eclipse to which I have been looking forward for months may be clouded out. I want my time back inside my own head.

Love the birch though, and I can see into the future [read your next entry] so I know you **did** see the blood-red moon.

Yes. I know people who did not live through the first adminstration of these horrors. I am worrying about people now in this second administration. I am worrying a lot.

It substituted for not staying up all night with science fiction with February! We stayed up all night in March with science!
