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

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?”

Oprah and the far right female fanbase
A Surviving Facts Blog Whatever the respiratory gunk going around is, I got it this week. While sniffling, sweating and coughing 24/7, I inevitably used my “free” time pondering life’s biggest philosophical issues. This time? How Oprah has contributed to the far-right fanaticism of middle-class American moms. Stay with me for a moment before youContinue reading “Oprah and the far right female fanbase”
Is it time to Zuck Meta? (Revised and updated post)
A Surviving Facts Blog I was planning to publish a blog on the impact of grocery store conglomerates and price-fixing but more recent news pulled me away. As the Trump inauguration approaches, more and more male CEOs and corporations are pandering to the anti-progress rhetoric the right has brought with Trump’s second coming. The latestContinue reading “Is it time to Zuck Meta? (Revised and updated post)”
Band of Billionaires
A Surviving Facts Blog I have never been a conspiracy theorist. I don’t believe in an evil government cabal led by one political party (statistically, what are the chances?) with the intention to suck blood from babies. While a sect of the far right has claimed democrats are “all” child molesters, the only trend I’veContinue reading “Band of Billionaires”
