"Think good thoughts"


[Mutts, November 15, 2024.]

Thank you, Earl.

Today’s Mutts goes well with these words from Ana Marie Cox:

The work of the anti-Trump coalition now is to expand our ability to take in data — especially data that’s uncomfortable — and to broaden our emotional range beyond pain, sorrow, regret, and fear. If we don’t seek out pleasure, comfort, companionship, and laughter, numbness becomes our only protection. And fascism thrives when we are dead inside.
And like Earl, Cox suggests that we think.

A person can think in any format. But I saw more evidence of thinking in blogs than in other social media. I decided to focus on sites that made me think. I think these sites are powerful defenses against fascism — kind of like Woody Guthrie’s guitar. Then again, maybe it’s just me. — Heber
