Life is too damn short
by David Atkins
If you have 20 minutes to spare, you can listen to my interview on Angie Coiro’s In Deep radio show a few days ago to talk about Wisconsin, the Presidential race, and how abnormal we are as activists. The direct podcast link is here (my segment goes from minutes 20-40.)
Otherwise have a great Sunday, everyone. There’s going to be a heck of a fight gearing up to November, so get some rest and relaxation where it’s available. While our choices at the Presidential level may not be able to make things all that much better in the coming year, we can at least prevent them from getting much worse even as we fight to make things better at a local level.
Make sure you call and hang out with your friends and loved ones, too. I’ve been visiting a friend and lifelong progressive activist in hospice over the last few days, and I fear today may be his last. No matter how unjust and unequal things become, the Great Equalizer awaits us all, and all the money in the world can buy us somewhat better health and treatment, but no guarantees of extra time. More time with my friend is what I wish I had more than anything else right now. Life is too damn short to spend it all grousing about national politics in front of a computer screen.
