Can I join this love-fest please?

What a piece of writing, though! I love the way you relate what is happening to you to the bigger picture in a true and clear way.

And I love 'Is it funny?' 🀣

Oh my gosh, you can absolutely join this love-fest, Janey! You made my night ☺️πŸ₯° And I know, isn’t that the best? *Is it funny?* I feel like that supersedes all the other gates. Pretty much. Especially now! Hugs and love, thanks for being here ❀️

I appreciated this essay. So important to call out bad behavior, small and monstrous.

Thank you, David. It really is. There’s so much coming at us all the time, some days naming this stuff is the only way to stay sane. Thank you for being here🀍

Dear god. Your dumbass neighbor. This made me feel angry, and then sad, and then hopeful. The truth does that. And love.

Haha, I know. That was so nuts. I really was waiting for someone to come around the corner and tell me it was a joke when the gardener started yelling at me to be respectful of all things 🀣 And I’m so glad this left you feeling hopeful after feeling those other things. I adore you ❀️

You always do that. Lay out the atrocities then give us hope. It’s a gift. And I adore YOU.
