Scarred, but not ruined

“It is almost Juneteenth so let's get authentic. Let's get well before my joyous holy day rolls around on Friday.
I am scarred, but not ruined by events in the DMV on June 14, 2026.
Flag Day.
The day the People’s House transformed forever in my mind and my broken heart into The WHITE TRASH House.
Ya’ll earned it, white folks.
Images of strange little motorbikes, flipping in arcs across a big steel cage, forever etched into my mind and my heart in the backyard of The WHITE TRASH House. President Comanche from Idiocracy has nothing on our current Grifter In Chief.
I am scarred, but not ruined.
Ya’ll trashy white folks defecated in the Capitol building, marched around inside it, with a confederate flag, while threatening to hang the vice president of the United States. Then in January 2025, our Sadist in Chief demanded that the most sycophantic amongst you all sit in the very same chamber and witness his coronation.
Michelle Obama will forever rise above all of this. She did not attend.
She certainly does not look ruined.
She does not even look scarred**.
I do feel scarred. Despite all my years in therapy, beyond the spiritual awareness and self-enhancement workshops that I have taken, the events in the DMV on June 14, 2026, affected me.
They damaged my heart. The armor I have placed around it, that armor that I have been working tirelessly to disassemble? For now, I will leave the scaffolding up around the dismantling process. I will take a deep breath. I will simply sit still, and FEEL IT ALL.”
Update, on June 26:
As I feel it all, two worlds are schism-ing apart. There really is a very dark, disorganized and fear-mongering force out there. And there really are signs and portents and synchronicities that give me hope. What has been happening, in New York. The breath of hope and inspiration, in the celebrations at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, in Chicago.
My best hopes, dreams and schemes lie in a continued focus on EXPAT LIFE IN PANAMA, by 2027.
