Profile

I'm a Gen B female, possessor of a right brain, INFJ, breast cancer survivor, heart attack survivor, cult television fan, wannabe writer.

"I didn't need to understand the hypostatic unity of the Trinity; I just needed to turn my life over to whoever came up with redwood trees." - Anne Lamott

"I'm more relaxed now. Ageing is like being a pothead again." - Chrissie Hynde

When INFJs were asked the key to their happiness, they replied, "We unfollow people in real life."

"I am not a member of an organized political party. I am a Democrat." - Will Rogers

"Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God."- Kurt Vonnegut

"I would never have drawn my sword in the cause of America, if I could have conceived that thereby I was founding a land of slavery." - Marquis de Lafayette

"Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe." ― H.G. Wells

Conservatism at its core is about preserving an in-group protected by the law but not bound by it, and an out-group bound by the law but not protected by it.

"The more I see of the moneyed classes, the more I understand the guillotine." - George Bernard Shaw

“I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc, is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditure excludes them.” - C.S. Lewis

MAGA is furious because they're being judged by the content of their character, and not by the color of their skin.

Finally, a quote from Walker Percy: "Undoubtedly something is about to happen.

Or is it that something has stopped happening?

Is it that God has at last removed his blessing from the U.S.A. and what we feel now is just the clank of the old historical machinery, the sudden jerking ahead of the roller-coaster as as the chain catches hold and carries us back into history with its ordinary catastrophes, carries us out and up toward the brink from that felicitous and privileged siding where even unbelievers admitted that if it was not God who blessed the U.S.A., then at least some great good luck had befallen us, and now that the blessing or the luck is over, the machinery clanks, the chain catches hold, and the cars jerk forward?"
