OK, I lied.

I’m still writing on Substack because…well, I’m not really sure…in any case I guess I can write here and there. My latest there is about the country and how things may or may not change with Trump…I figure they will change, maybe slowly and maybe fast…it depends on his ability to go against our normal rules. And he does have an uncanny ability to do so.

Here I think I will write about the deeper concerns I have. I am afraid of those who have set him up as a messiah — I am afraid of the stops we’ve had in place for hate speech and lies being removed, I am afraid of the billionaires who will change the face of this country. I am afraid for my mental health.

I’m afraid we will never come back from this, that the next election will be fixed and project 2025 will be in place and that JD Vance will be our next president — that is, if Trump doesn’t manage to stay in for life.

But I’m mostly afraid for our wolves, for our wild places, for our environment and the lack of concern about protecting wilderness and dealing properly with climate change. I fear for our animals…they are what I love most — the birds, the trees, the bears, the wolves and all the other wonderful critters that walk this earth with us. This place is so incredibly beautiful and we are ruining it..making it uninhabitable with our polices that only enrich the wealthiest among us.
