What gave me HOPE this week:
When I was a small child, I saw a picture of Mesa Verde National Park’s Cliff Palace in a book, and I still remember thinking, “I want to go there.” I may have been a Southern Christian Nationalist little girl, but I was curious about the world. Maybe my curiosity saved me.
On Sunday, I finally made it to Cliff Palace. We can always reach our childhood dreams, and that gives me hope.
What gave YOU hope this week?

Rudy “Colludy”Giuliani was disbarred in DC. Nothing like a bit of fuck around and find out news to put a smile on my face.
What gave me hope this week was seeing increasing numbers of Republican politicians, National Security leaders and others not only vowing NOT to vote for Trump, but stating they're voting FOR the Harris-Walz ticket, AND encouraging others to follow their lead.
When in the recent history of Presidential elections have we seen such effort to cross the aisle in support of the opposing candidate?
