Hi Loves.
I'm with family but sneaking off to make a brief post. If you're not following me for the politics, ignore, but expect things to get weirder and weirded around here as America starts falling off a cliff more and more by the moment.
If I lose some of you, that's okay. (I'll gain some of you, as well.)
It's a holiday today and I hope all the Americans are able to take it easy.
It feels hard to do that given what's going on.
I would love for you all to read Heather Cox Richardons's post today, it begins.

On October 9, President Donald J. Trump’s office issued an official proclamation declaring Monday, October 13, “Columbus Day.” The proclamation says that the day is one on which “our Nation honors the legendary Christopher Columbus—the original American hero, a giant of Western civilization, and one of the most gallant and visionary men to ever walk the face of the earth. This Columbus Day, we honor his life with reverence and gratitude, and we pledge to reclaim his extraordinary legacy of faith, courage, perseverance, and virtue from the left-wing arsonists who have sought to destroy his name and dishonor his memory.”
The proclamation goes on to present a white Christian nationalist version of American history, with much more emphasis on Christianity than Trump’s previous, similar proclamations. It claims that Columbus was guided by a “noble mission: to discover a new trade route to Asia, bring glory to Spain, and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to distant lands.” “Upon his arrival,” it says, “he planted a majestic cross in a mighty act of devotion, dedicating the land to God and setting in motion America’s proud birthright of faith.”
