Vote. Like your life depends on it. Like your blac

Vote. Like your life depends on it. Like your black friends lives depend on it. Like your daughters and friends reproductive rights depend on it. Like your LGBTQ friends lives depend on it. Like science, climate change, and covid is real.

Last night I sat in the dark laying on a couch while my oldest daughter slept peacefully after an emergency surgery. I listened as the nurses roamed the halls. Parents snoring on the same couch I was laying on. Babies crying and mothers and fathers calming their scared children in a strange and scary place. Emotionally taken back to 16 years ago as this same kiddo laid in the NICU for weeks with tubes and monitors hooked up to her keeping her safe and alive after appearing almost 2 months early. It made me feel so bad for being selfish and creating 2 amazing women with 2 amazing women. This isn't the world I imagined they would be growing up in.

And it made me take in the past year, the past four years, and how life has infinitely changed in ways we never thought we would see or live through.

Yall. Its time to toss all this hate aside. Its time to restore decency and humility to our human experience. Im scared for the future that my children will have. Where women are safe to go out on a run at night. When my friends of BIPOC aren't scared of a basic traffic stop. Where a bumper sticker didn't start an argument or a death in a parking lot.

This election isn't just about getting this hate filled administration out. Its about bringing us closer to center again. Where love and patience and understanding and acceptance and compassion are infinitely more important that conspiracy theories and misinformation campaigns created to rip us apart. Where religious beliefs and faith aren't ripping the fabric of the human experience apart.

Im mid life and white as fuck. And im really tired of white old men running this country. We need more women and people of color and different religious beliefs to represent the people of this country. A nation of immigrants. A melting pot. We are stronger together.

So yeah. Vote. Our lives, democracy, planet and children depend on it.

Took this last night at Dell Children's Hospital while waiting to see how Thing 1's unexpected surgery went.

All is well. Both of us are tired and ready for some real sleep once they let us know when we can go home.

Since its Halloween and a full moon, I'm getting cheeky with this post. ;)
