Surviving an Awful Moment
A Surviving Facts Blog I didn’t write a blog last week. I couldn’t. The moment Trump bombed Iran, I lost words. Words became disconnected letters floating randomly above my head, word clouds without words, thought bubbles without logic. I’ve got a Y and a G and a Q and an E, along with other alphabetContinue reading “Surviving an Awful Moment”
Starting a storm
A Surviving Facts Blog When I wrote my blog for Black History Month, I knew it could be controversial. Response to my article confirmed it was. I offended many people from various racial and ethnic groups and political mindsets. I also started a conversation that has opened my mind even more to the racial andContinue reading “Starting a storm”

I need a break
I am taking a break from writing a blog this week. I have learned, sadly, that making sense simply doesn’t matter, especially if you’re a certain authoritarian leader who stood before an important global group and spewed embarrassingly inaccurate “scientific” information.
