I
am spending a lot more time on Facebook because at least there I get
some response to my outrage about the Trump disaster. My other
friends, assuming I have friends, are silent on email. They are
silent on the blog. Since I live like a total hermit here in exile,
and I do enjoy that human contact now and then, it is more efficient
to use FB.
There
are other things happening in life that are both good and bad. On
the one hand, I have received a contribution from a long-lost
relative that will allow me to apply to grad school and keep the
power and water on for six months or so. Ideally I could be on my
feet again at the end of this time. I do appreciate this
contribution, it has totally turned around my life in the short run.
But
in the long run, or in six months, what is the liklihood that things
will be better? Ultimately, I have to leave this house, what is the
liklihood that I will ever be able to afford rent again? Be employed
again? Work on something I love again?
Now
that China takes its place as the world leader, and the United States
self destructs with a right wing faction in charge of the state
apparatus, I think it is foolish and unrealistic to have any hope for
the future.
Nevertheless,
I will press forward with grad school and with my book project and a
few other things. Its better than a stick in the eye. I have enjoyed
writing this blog and no doubt will enjoy writing more, from time to
time, going forward. I appreciate those of you who read this, whoever
you may be.
