A Surviving Facts Blog Forgive typos— I’m having a moment. I wrote this original blog a few months ago before billionaire greed moved more into the spotlight. Recently, Billie Eilish, Rachel Maddow and Steve Colbert have all chastised the billionaire bros— Zuckerberg, Bezos, Musk— for their greed. Billie and Rachel, both accepting awards for theirContinue reading “Yep, They’re Still Assholes- Part 2 of original blog”

Hegseth’s speech may be exactly what we needed
A Surviving Facts blog Did you watch this week’s military display? If you did, then whether you’re wearing red-colored or blue-tinted glasses, you heard what I heard: No fat people in the military. Hegseth’s Patton-flag-modeled Ted Talk was clear: fat people are disgusting, men need to be warriors again (is he referring to Vikings, whichContinue reading “Hegseth’s speech may be exactly what we needed”
Etherized upon a table
A Surviving Facts Blog This past week, with Kirk’s tragic murder and its sad, complex aftermath, has worn me out. Kirk is a victim. And so are all the transgender people who have been harmed by his defamatory, and false, rhetoric. Is being tired a medical condition? I am tired. I’m tired of conflict, divide,Continue reading “Etherized upon a table”
It’s not hard to listen
A Surviving Facts blog I’m late for this week’s posting. It’s been busy. My house is now on the market, I prepped for and had a colonoscopy (TMI? I’m all good), and recovered from what seemed to be a mega dose of anesthesia- hence this post will be short. My recovery time has included aContinue reading “It’s not hard to listen”
Does the US Now Have State-controlled Media?
A Surviving Facts blog If you listen to mainstream news, you should have noticed by now its watered-down approach to Trump and his fascist policies. There’s a simple reason for this: we are moving toward state-controlled media. Trump has bought them by suing for defamation, fraud and other claims. This has resulted in settlements inContinue reading “Does the US Now Have State-controlled Media?”
Who will lead us out of darkness?
A Surviving Facts blog Each day brings new devastations. Our country deports American nationals without due process. Our country abducts American citizens off the streets threatening deportation simply for their using their right to freedom of speech. The Supreme Court permits such actions. RFK, Jr. and his incompetent appointees make every effort to ignore provenContinue reading “Who will lead us out of darkness?”
The Groom
A Surviving Facts Blog With all of the Epstein and Trump news lately, SA has been on my mind. As a survivor myself- a story for another blog- this is a topic I sadly know about. What has fascinated me is our society’s and media’s attempts to sublimate it by using words to weaken theContinue reading “The Groom”
The Divide
A Surviving Facts Blog We finally took a much overdue vacation. My husband and I joined dear friends, a couple, to tour the wineries of New York’s Finger Lakes region, about four hours northwest of New York City. The region bursts with fantastic wineries, innovative, excellent restaurants and arts and crafts. We love the coupleContinue reading “The Divide”
Through a glass, darkly
A Surviving Facts Blog I just finished watching the final season of The Handmaid’s Tale. Watching the show now, in 2025, is a chilling experience compared to 2017 when the series debuted. In 2017, Obama was in his last months as President, Roe v Wade was still the rule of the land, healthcare for allContinue reading “Through a glass, darkly”
Softly, Softly
A Surviving Facts Blog At least a decade ago, a British friend of mine used to say, when faced with a challenge, “softly, softly catch a monkey.” His lilting West Country accent dramatically underscored the saying. His words always made me chuckle, but the saying was more than funny. Until he used this phrase, IContinue reading “Softly, Softly”
