Weekend self-care open thread: It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine!
Well, howdy thar, Barflies!
Twice-impeached, thirty-four times convicted felon Donald Trump is telling anyone who will listen that if Vice President Kamala Harris wins election come November, she will be so dismissed by the likes of Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong-Un that we'll stumble into a nuclear war and end human life. Oh noes!
As a man of a certain age, I grew up with pop songs about the end of the world. The 80s were no joke, man. I remember conducting nuclear drills in 7th grade at my Catholic school in New York. The bell would ring, and we'd get under our desks. Because, yeah, that would really protect us from the multiple nuclear warheads which would hit the City That Never Sleeps. We Gen-Xers had a certain sangfroid about possible extinction. (Sadly, that insouciance has translated into too many of my generational fellows becoming Trumpists.)
Well, since that seems to be our fate according to him, we may as well dance. We're gonna get funky and ring in the Apocalypse this weekend!
Share your own favorite ditties about our impending doom in the comments.
And remember:
As always, dear friends, be ever kind, gentle, and joyful with yourselves and those around you. And dance!
