19. the murdering of people
Sun Oct 26, 2025, 09:51 AM
Sunday

for no valid or even verified reason by my - krasnov's government and the terrorization of brown and Black people are the two things in the moment that emotionally strike me so hard I can hardly express the rage and anguish these acts awaken in me.

I think that's the worse thing you're facing Malaise, because the hurricane is Nature (although nowadays it's also worsened by the bad acts of humans), and if it is going to happen, it is. It's easier in my opinion to deal with disaster in that context because it's not directed at you, it's not malevolent, it is simply Nature.

This other shit? It does not have to be this way.

In a weird way it's like the difference between Bekah dying in an accident as opposed to her being run over by an impaired driver who didn't even leave a skid mark as she left her side of the road, dragged her body down the street, and sped away as her victim bled out in the street.

(hug) Be as prepared as you can. I'll be looking for you on these pages, and sending all my positive energy your way for you and everyone in Jamaica and all the affected areas to be safe. and Stay safe
