A Surviving Facts Blog We are living an upside down, inside out reality. Ten years ago, QANON was in full force, pushing out conspiracy theories like a Texas trad wife bearing offspring. Remember Pizzagate claiming Hillary Clinton was running a child pornography ring out of the basement of a Maryland pizza restaurant with no basement?Continue reading “Not So Crazy Talk”

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”
Cornhole and the Olympics?
An I-have-no-idea-what-series-this belongs-to Blog Curling has been rocked by scandal. While I haven’t figured it out yet, or even read anything about it, the breaking news story is that the Swedes have accused the Canadians of cheating by tapping the granite rock with a finger as it passes the “hog line,” the line over whichContinue reading “Cornhole and the Olympics?”
Nara doesn’t eat cake
A Surviving Facts Blog As I’ve shared before, I’ve spent too many hours— mouth agape except for muttered curse words— exploring the trad wife trend on social media. One of the early influencers in this area— although I don’t think the trad wife category really fits her— is Nara Smith. Nara, now a mother ofContinue reading “Nara doesn’t eat cake”
Is it a Ho Ho or the Apocalypse?
A Surviving Facts Blog (though it feels like the end of the world as we know it) My depression looks like a half eaten Ho Ho, an imitation one because this came from a bakery rather than a box. I’ve been eating healthy— make good choices, I say to myself— but I succumbed yesterday justContinue reading “Is it a Ho Ho or the Apocalypse?”
I got nuttin’
A Surviving Facts Blog I am paralyzed— emotionally, mentally and physically. I have words to write, deadlines to make, a small business to run… and I can’t. I watch Substack videos, read news articles, compare coverage to see viewpoint differences. I try to make sense of what I hear, I cant. I cannot comprehend sentences.Continue reading “I got nuttin’”
Putting out the trash: A New Year’s wish
A Surviving Fact Blog Typos corrected The beginning of a new year is always a great time to purge and get rid of the things you don’t want. Here’s what I’m getting rid of this year. I have a huge garbage bin as big as I can imagine—made from recycled materials, of course. It’s stuffedContinue reading “Putting out the trash: A New Year’s wish”
Writing and rebellion
A Surviving Facts Blog This little blog of mine is hardly a threat to our government. I have a solid reader base and know both supporters and detractors read and comment. This is my microcosm of rebellion. If I took my comments to Tik Tok or instagram and spoke my fear and discontent out loudContinue reading “Writing and rebellion”
A horrible, awful, terribly no good year.
A Surviving Facts blog New Year’s Eve— the end of one year and the beginning of another— is my least favorite day of the year. I have my reasons. It’s not really a new year. Before the Romans, ancient societies built the calendar around the rhythms of the moon. A year was supposed to beContinue reading “A horrible, awful, terribly no good year.”
