Day 9 - Windy
I slowly woke up to the morning sun pouring into my tent. My bag is packed, my bike is set, and I’m ready for my last breakfast in HillerŸd. One last stroll through the Frederikssund Gardens before I say goodbye to my host.
The weather gods listened to me regarding the rain, but they really fucked me up with the wind—42 km of headwind! And for anyone who says that Denmark is flat, then Pamela Anderson is flat too! While I was fighting with the wind with lots of open…

Last Sunday, the three of us went for a small hike in a natural reserve and came across a black dog that seemed to still be a puppy. The park rangers we talked to asked us if we'd be willing to take her in, as packs of wild dogs tend to become an issue for the wildlife.
We slept on it for a night & decided to go for it. Since Monday, Ohana is a big sister for Nina. Both seem to be adapting well to their respective changes in life circumstances. Guess I'll have to make a website for Nina too 🥰

The ideas that finally bubbled up to the surface in The Point of No Return last night have been festering in the back of my brain for months. Because, although it's a bit inchoate, it's only saying out loud what most of us already know.
The job now is no longer to turn the ship around. We don't have the wheel, and those who do will not listen.
The task now is to build lifeboats. To build resilient spaces in which fragments of humanity can survive.

People keep trying to point to an event where the "right/left" political violence thing got out of hand. You cannot point to anywhere in US history where the right hasn't been murdering leftists. It has never happened.
They've been talking about civil war since they lost the last one, and most of US politics before that was just trying to prevent the first one.
There isn't a wave of right/left violence. Right wing violence has just gone unchecked for so long, and been so accepted, that now they're killing each other regularly. The Trump assassination attempts were all from the right. #CharlieKirk was killed by another fascist for not being fascist enough.
Fascists have so completely taken over that they see each other as legitimate targets because they've run out of "leftists" worth murdering. That's the story. That's what people can't wrap their heads around.
Everyone is worried about the right wing response, worries about right wing escalation, but they called for civil war over the cracker barrel logo. They're already maxing out their base. All the proud boys and other Nazis are already hired by ICE. They're also already going as hard as they can. They don't need any excuses. They have total control of everything. This bumbling mess is *the best they can do.* They call for civil war every few days.
We're not seeing a war between the left and the right. We're seeing a war between the right and the far right, where both side opportunistically punch left when they can and liberals help them justify their actions.
