This is brilliant, Sylvia! I would like some banana bread. 🍌🍞 (I also skipped the American president’s remarks; I don’t need more gaslighting, thank you very much)
My morning routine is:
- A health walk, with a side of rage-inducing news podcasts
- Finish with a few quick calls to my reps.
- Turn on my personal “replay replay replay” playlist on Spotify so I can detox from the news & calling my R senators.
Mostly just songs that are meaningful to me, but Chumbawamba’s Thubthumping is a good anthem for all of us. “I get knocked down, but I get up again! You’re never gonna keep me down!” — and my favorite song for Kamala Harris, Camera Obscura’s “We’re Gonna Make it in a Man’s World.”
I love this Activist Café & Spa 💙. Btw, on one of my calls to a Congressman I got the voice mail. The outgoing message said in effect, "keep in mind that it's against federal law to threaten the Congressman, be respectful." 😱 Send a memo to Trump and Vance!! They didn't learn that law 🤣
Love the “shot” of a 5-min call. Espresso and calling my reps def both energize me! ☕️
AWESOME!! I tend to call when I know it will go to voicemail because I freak out talking to a stranger, LOL
And yet you persist!!!
