My class that is moving on to seniors. So damn proud of them and can’t wait to see what they do in this industry. I have a Trans student, she’s got the sweetest, kindest soul. I’m so happy our paths crossed, she taught me a lot about being Trans.

“This Tired Republic”

In amber waves once proud and wide,

Now shadows stretch where hope would bide.

The eagle circles, wings grown thin,

Above a land worn bare within.

The streets are cracked with silent cries,

Of dreams deferred and hollowed lies.

Steel towers loom, but roots decay,

As voices vanish in dismay.

The ballot box, once sacred fire,

Now flickers low in muck and mire.

Truth bends beneath a screaming tide,

Where fact and fable coincide.

The poor still wait with empty hands,

While wealth commands the shifting sands.

Children learn in crumbling rooms,

A future pawned for profit’s fumes.

The soil remembers better days,

When justice walked uncloaked by haze.

But now the scales hang loose, unbound,

While sirens echo, guns resound.

Yet in this dusk of discontent,

The flame is dim but not yet spent.

A whisper stirs the fallen leaf—

That grief, though deep, is not defeat.

And if we rise with clearer eyes,

Beyond the smoke that veils the skies,

This tired republic might yet mend—

But only if we dare, and bend.

This is who was voted Commander in Chief of the US. Rather than have a woman Democrat, they thought this was better. Greed, prejudice, and idiots who believe he’s God, are how we got here. Some are totally uninformed ( Fox News) and just voted with their party without doing any outside research. Let’s not forget that many Republicans just didn’t vote. They didn’t like Trump, but couldn’t bring themselves to vote Democrat. (We’re demons, apparently). I’m not ruling out Musk buying the election and Russian collusion. Boils down to they create chaos, lie so much that nobody can discern the truth.

There is so much to break down and completely understand the implications of the damage he’s done so far, but it’s going to be bad. And all the poor people who voted for him will be affected too. They’ll be starving, and still hailing his praises. They’ll try to find a way to blame it on anyone but him. Nothing will surprise me at this point.

If you wonder what 1930s Germany was like, look around.

I’m trying to stay positive, but also realistic. Get a plan B in place, get survival tools and get a family meeting place in case communication gets shut down. Or war breaks out. We do not have allies anymore and I really don’t trust any leader he’s schmoozled up to. Plus our own internal temperature is 🔥🔥 A Civil war could break out .

A few things said lately:

~Social security is a Ponzi scheme🤬

~Musk is just like the man who invented the light bulb, Isaac Neutron. 😫

~claiming Ukraine started the war, then attacking Zelensky, a totally planned attack.

I’m very ashamed to be American.

Me and my family are planning a trip to Branson, we need to plan, discuss and enjoy each others company. The future, and democracy are worthy of fighting for.

Revolution’s Fire

A spark, a flame, a voice, a cry,

A restless heart that won’t comply.

The whispers turn to roars of change,

As broken systems start to range.

The chains of silence, they will break,

The walls of power, they will shake.

For in the hearts of those who yearn,

The flame of revolution will burn.

No longer bound by fear or lies,

The people’s truth will pierce the skies.

With every step, with every breath,

They march for justice, not for death.

The revolution’s not just in the street,

It’s in the hearts that beat, repeat.

It’s in the eyes that dare to see,

A world where all are truly free.

So rise, oh souls, and claim the night,

The dawn of freedom shines so bright.

For revolution, bold and true,

Starts with one heart—and then, the few.

As I sit here quietly reflecting on the happenings of the last few days, I’m honestly numb. Love, peace and an ounce of compassion seems to have vanished from our thoughts.

Please let me understand

How do we call ourselves a godly nation?

When there’s not an ounce of compassion unless you’re a criminal?

My guts are destroyed with worry for our great land.

Please God, have mercy on the people’s lives here on planet Earth, so much hatred, war, poverty, and we’re so divided and misinformed that nobody knows the real Truth. Opinions being turned to facts and facts being turned into opinions, which is impossible, by the way.

All I can do is pray now, it’s all in your hands, I sure hope you do America a solid.

A Quiet Distance

There you are, just out of reach,

A lesson life can never teach.

Your voice, a melody soft and sweet,

Yet we’re two paths that cannot meet.

I hold you close in whispered thought,

A fleeting dream my heart has caught.

Each stolen glance, each fleeting smile,

A bridge between us—mile by mile.

The stars don’t ask why they’re apart,

Their light still touches, heart to heart.

And though I long, though silence aches,

The bond persists; it never breaks.

You’re the shadow of a fleeting song,

A memory where I still belong.

Yet fate has drawn its careful line,

To love you still, but not call you mine.

So here I stand, with love unspoken,

A tether strong, though softly broken.

For even in this quiet pain,

To care for you is worth the strain.

Another snow apocalypse! I love snow days! It’s really too cold to play in it, but I’m gonna try! Jazzy is not loving it! I had to plow her a pee and poop trail. It’s past her butt. lol, in fact, it about swallows her up. We got about a foot of snow.

I was worried about losing power, but it didn’t go off. Soooooo, I have white chicken chili in the crockpot. Making my own pita chips. Yummy! And a blueberry cake. Neighbor is coming over later to eat.

2025 better treat me like a baby princess.

The Year That Was: 2024

A year unfolded, swift yet vast,

A fleeting moment, now the past.

In echoes loud, it left its mark,

A tale of light, a tale of dark.

The world still spun on fragile thread,

Through whispers of hope and winds of dread.

In cities teeming, some found grace,

While others mourned what time erased.

In nature’s cry, a stern decree,

The earth rebelled in fire and sea.

Rivers raged and forests wept,

Yet seeds of change were boldly kept.

A dance of leaders—bold and weak,

Promises spoken, futures bleak.

Some sought progress, some stood still,

Some pushed forward, others killed.

The stars above saw nations race,

To claim new worlds in boundless space.

A dream of unity hung in the air,

Yet walls of division were still laid bare.

The arts and minds had battles fought,

As AI wrote and humans thought.

The line grew blurred, the question clear:

What does it mean to persevere?

In love and loss, the people turned,

To bridges built and lessons learned.

Communities rose in the face of despair,

Together they stood, their hearts laid bare.

2024—a fleeting year,

Of growing hope and lingering fear.

A chapter closed, yet stories flow,

For seeds we plant are seeds we sow.

2024 was a brutal, but eye opening year for me. It tested my temper, it brought me joy but also a few accomplishments.

I’ve mastered using my new air fryer, I was a bit slow learning. This may seem minor, but not to the chef. I need things perfect. 😂🤣

I like to think I’m a master pickler on the rise. That’s right, I’ve starting making pickles. Hot, mild, medium and wanna cut your tongue out hot. My fans love them. Aka, my students. lol. They do love them, but Also are probably sucking up. All good.

My next major accomplishment was finishing the basement. That was a huge feat Fence is done too.

I managed to make it through an extremely difficult and emotional time for me. I do believe, music, dancing and lots of nature is what got me through. I still love, but in a different way, a healthier way.

I’m so ever grateful for friends and family. My love of life, nature, dancing, cooking, growing and the Arts will always keep me going, happy and humble.

I still have work to do on my poem. 2024 was so negative in my eyes. I want to relate to the happy times. Trump can’t take my joy. Only I can do that.

So Happy New Year

I’m sending love, hope, peace and joy energy out to the world.

In the words of Burt “what the world needs now, is love sweet love”.

Star crossed lovers

Could it be real?

2 people destined to love someone you can’t be with. Left to linger with the longing, no place to release the ache. It’s a cruel joke

Moving through life with grace and dignity. Surviving, thriving, but never 100% satisfied. Like a piece of you is missing. One puzzle piece to complete the masterpiece.

I’m awaking to some realizations that there’s much more to life, afterlife, than we can comprehend. If it’s not seen, tangible, is it real? I believe so. It’s a mystery, and I love magical mysteries.

Just watched “It’s a wonderful life”. My favorite meaningful Christmas movie. I think most of us are oblivious to the impact we’ve had on others, good and bad. Another reason to always be kind♥️

Merry Christmas, my love, wherever you might be. 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄🎅

I’ve started my poem for the new year, a powerfully, emotionally charged little ditty. It’s been a rough year.

[poppinsposts]

Awwww if I only had a dick. Lol Merry Christmas !!! 🎁🎄

There’s a poem a-brewin’ deep in the depths of my tormented soul. A journey worth reflecting and sharing. Coming Soon

The theme of the Republican Party, Make up the most ridiculous, outlandish lies you can dream up, to make the Democratic Party look like pieces of garbage. It don’t matter how crazy it sounds, they’ll believe anything. I need to wake up from this crazy twilight zone dream.

I think this made me snort-laugh. 😂🤣🤣🤣

Teaching Jazzy how to dance! So far, she’s just looked at me like I’m crazy! I know she’s got some rhythm in there! She’s so smart, we’re gonna fo this!

To my loves that I’ve lost:

Missing you always

My heart split in two.

One side filled with

memories, the other side

died with you. I often lay

awake at night when the

world is fast asleep, and take

a walk down memory lane

with tears upon my cheek.

REMEMBERING

you is easy, I do it

everyday, but missing

you is heartache. That

never goes away. I hold

you tightly within my heart

and there you will remain.

You see life has gone on

without you, but will

never be the same.
