 yeah, let's do a land acknowledgement, heh heh.

let's do a land acknowledgement. 

ok, let's just say we did and i'll download one later.

ok, i guess that'll have to do.

Know this clearly: if the strength of the people is absent from the public arena, neither leadership nor the institutions of the state, whose true mission is to serve the people, can function effectively.

 i wonder what's the relation between dementia or memory loss and death? i told mom trudy was transitioning and she was like when i was 7 and she read to me in the newspaper a school mate had been killed, so casually, decades before her cognitive decline. after she read that i stayed in the living room all night listening to 3 dog night, suitable for framing, on endless repeat, and then stepped out the sliding glass door to the patio and woke in the cold and snuck back in and mom appeared saying did you hear the door open? i think someone just came in and i pretended to be asleep and unaware. yesterday she asked how old trudy is, said, oh, my age, and then said i guess we're not transitioning, there's too much going on around here, she said she just found a bunch of underwear they never saw before in the bottom drawer. when we told trudy karen died her brow furrowed for a blink and then her face was calm and she never mentioned it again. neither mom or trudy has ever breathed a word about death. i think of death all the time.
