This finds me hunkering down. Eating lots of red meat. Hours of walking in the lovely spring weather. It's taking me a lot of energy to stay grounded. Seems I'm managing.
People around me have been having the fantods. Dinner last night with old university friends from a big blue city. Heard another batch of health stories from our circles— for example, an aggressive and disfiguring skin cancer, an apparently soon to be fatal brain cancer, a case of severe IBS requiring hospitalization and then a month recovery time.
Between the salad and the main course one of my friends suffered an outburst of TDS, however it passed like a spring thundershower.
I'm not here to defend nor celebrate Trump, by the way. But the TDS in my world, unabated since its onset nearly a decade ago, is awesome to behold. It comes on suddenly, oftentimes seemingly from nowhere, and it involves expressions of extreme loathing and/or extreme fear, usually both. Fear of being arrested for some random reason, fear of censorship, fear of massive economic disaster (even if the speaker, at the same time, ardently hopes that the stock market will crash to show people how horrible Trump is). Israel this, Gaza that & etc & etc. Zilch about the covid jabs, though. Then, whoosh, the TDS is spent. Pass the pie.
Thank you
Thank you, JMG, and thank you, forumistas.
