The digitization of everything. Read a book on your phone. Stream music from platforms that starve the creators and enrich themselves (well same as it ever was, just more blatant.) Photoshop. You used to have to have airbrush skills to manipulate images, now we all can make deep fakes.

You used to have to have airbrush skills to manipulate images, now we all can make deep fakes. I was thinking that even I could be a smidge of an artist with Photoshop, miles. Not to denigrate your talent, not a true artist, as you are or Saturnboy was, but have the ability to make cards with images I shot, adding words to them type of thing. Perhaps, not an artist myself but as I have had family members who are able to use hand and pen/pencil/pastels and blank materials to make creations which are startling, gorgeous, humorous, delicate, alive looking, I have pined for some outlet of my own. I remember how hard silk screening was, so many steps that had to all be done manually. You had to have physical strength in your arms and I had none. Airbrushing I never got to do, you must have a pretty steady hand for that. As for reading teeny weeny words and viewing teeny weeny screens, I am not a fan. I'll hang on to the past, where I can highlight things I want to remember really important or stick something on my mirror. Those days are waning, I usually set alarms on my phone. Only one foot into the digital pool.

Wake is a different tense of woke. I am just privacy and self protection oriented, after having someone take liberties with what I considered private. Like my credit card number, for instance. And that stolen mail? It pisses me off. Being hacked is not something I envision as enjoyable, either. My word of the day is Cautious.

Abortion rights, gun restrictions, separation of state funds for private religious schools, and Miranda warnings gone--check. Next on the list, gay marriage, interracial marriage, Brown v. Board of Education...

Who voted against Trump twice? Blame our nonsensical electoral college that allowed this idiot to obtain the levers of power.

But now you have Biden. How's that going? He is the president, right? You are right the system is a total fuck up and it's the same over here but we put up with it. So again, blame the populace.
