I depart on December 1st and arrive late on December 2nd, but I'll have all day, Wednesday to recuperate before move-in on Thursday. It's in the same location as last time...the Maritime Museum, Pier 8 at the Ferry Terminal...and it'll be good to see all the people I've dealt with, before.
What helps is, I'll have a good 12 hours on the plane to work on MQM...and I'm fairly certain I'll have an idea of what I'm doing with it, but then. Of course, knowing me...I may be exhibiting a bit too much optimism.
I'm having to pull back from Social Media, somewhat, just to keep from losing myself in the madness of the MAGAt Class and their rabid actions and attitudes. It really does hurt your heart to find out so many people who look like you are raving lunatics and racist scum who claim to be Christian even as they spit on the teachings of Christ.
I'm no longer a believer in God. If there was one, he'd have cut down half the people in this country, including Felon47, for being monsters and demons out to cause pain and suffering. But they're prospering, instead, and seizing power to expand their evil.
But that isn't what really an atheist. I became one after reading the Bible from cover to cover and saw how it not only justified but encouraged rape, incest, murder, fraud, lying, cheating, intolerance, and genocide. Knowing this helped me with Brendan's final thought monologue in APoS-HNH as he now sees that is just how people always have been, and always will be, and the only thing you can do in response is to tell your stories.
Jean Renoir had a brilliant comment on that, from The Rules of the Game (which is actually The Rule of the Game, in the French) -- The awful thing about life is this: Everybody has their reasons. And in the last 10 years of this civilization we have seen just how true that is...
...And how evil.
