Truth is not a relative term
A Surviving Facts Blog I didn’t watch Trump’s State of the Union address-I tend not to watch these performances, though I did read the transcript and articles fact-checking his claims. The article on FactCheck.org, began with this: “In his first address to a joint session of Congress in his second term, President Donald Trump distortedContinue reading “Truth is not a relative term”
Pro Choice Saves Lives
A Surviving Facts Blog When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I was considered an “old” mother. I was 39. Because of my age, doctors pushed me to get an amniocentesis. I had had several miscarriages, one of them in the second trimester, so I was particularly protective of a pregnancy that had lastedContinue reading “Pro Choice Saves Lives”
I want to enjoy FAFO, but I can’t
A Surviving Facts Blog I sometimes gravitate to Reddit to hear what folks are saying. I sneak into far right groups to see their thoughts and then visit a group posting Republicans who now regret voting for Trump. The group is called, LeopardsAteMyFace. If you need hope that some Republicans are being deprogrammed, visit thisContinue reading “I want to enjoy FAFO, but I can’t”
A terrible, terrible first month
A Surviving Facts Blog We’ve just completed Trump’s first month in the White House. I’m sure you’ve read the news: the US joined with Russia, China, Iran and North Korea in the latest UN resolution on Ukraine. I’m struggling to convey the horrible significance of this move. But here it is plain: we are nowContinue reading “A terrible, terrible first month”
No. There were not more commercial plane crashes under Biden
A Surviving Facts Blog I’ve been reading Fox “News.” I want to understand what a far right audience is hearing (I’m not ready for News Max!). Are the White House/Elon Musketeer shenanigans reported as CNN or the Wall Street Journal (a conservative newspaper that supported Trump during the election) do? Sadly, no. Fox News continuesContinue reading “No. There were not more commercial plane crashes under Biden”
Celebrating 50!
Into the Wilderness: Story 34 Raising Autism: Connection 101 The other day, WordPress sent me a congratulations: Walk the Moon has reached 50 posts! At first I did what I normally do. I minimized, “that’s all.” But immediately, I reframed. Wow, 50! That’s an impressive number. Doing 50 of any task isn’t easy. Take 50Continue reading “Celebrating 50!”
Back to the office
A Surviving Facts Blog A company doing it right? Here’s a pro-company post- or mostly pro. As we know, many companies are ending work from home arrangements. Many reasons exist. Some mandates are necessity because certain regulations- for example in financial services- require secure systems that can only be guaranteed in in-office settings. Other mandatesContinue reading “Back to the office”
The Musketeers
A Surviving Facts Blog All over the news. All over social. All over practically everything. No matter what news source you watch or read, you find Elon Musk. Since late 2024, he has been THE MAN. Not long ago, Musk was the CEO of Tesla, the former CEO of PayPal and a serial marrier andContinue reading “The Musketeers”
What are we really celebrating on Valentine’s Day?
A Surviving Facts Blog I’m not a fan of Valentine’s Day. Not because I don’t have love. I have a most wonderful husband and family, and I’m surrounded by people who care for and support me. I’m not a fan because it’s so manufactured, so “cheesy,” as a friend of mine would say. For yearsContinue reading “What are we really celebrating on Valentine’s Day?”
