7 Days of Grieving - 6
Today was a busy and hard day. After I was done with all my four classes, I had a short conversation with my mother as I had to rush to a committee meeting. Mom lives in Russia and our Skype communication is one-way: she calls me when she can, I cannot reach her at all. So I pick up whenever she calls, even for a short call. Mom called me the first time today right in the middle of the class I was teaching. My students were amused to hear me speak Russian to her as I was making sure that nothing major bad happened and asking her to call me back later. She called about an hour later and we exchanged all the family news (we rarely talk politics as it is simply not safe). After that, I went to my Assist Committee meeting.

Donald Trump, the man of the ‘I’m Fucking Crazy’: A New Chapter at the White House.
Well, what can we say. If America’s face once seemed ambiguous or contradictory, there’s no doubt now: the United States has once again chosen the New York tycoon as the 47th President. After a campaign filled with twists and turns, Trump has triumphed over Kamala Harris, reaching and surpassing the crucial 270 electoral votes with a lead of 5 million votes. Like it or not, the result reflects exactly what over half of Americans want for the White House.

No Pain, No Gain?
I remember as a little girl thinking my grandmother was the most loving and craziest person I knew. Nobody loved me better in my opinion, however she would say some really disturbing things. Before I had even stepped foot into a school, she had told me two things that had me very worried: 1. "Life is extremely hard." 2. "It only gets harder as you get older." I believed her, yet I think that's why I was also so quick to give up or get so suicidally depressed. It's not that she was serving me a deception, and I know her intentions were to prepare me for the challenges ahead, but perhaps that pep talk would have been better served at a later time.

Something Wicked
Ok, hear me out. I think that Halloween should be recognized as an official holiday. I think we should get a long weekend to celebrate it. And I think that much like Christmas or Thanksgiving, it should be guaranteed at the highest levels.

Suppressed. Content Warning.
It didn't happen overnight. It was a process of subtle manipulation that quickly became compliance controlled by fear. Voices became silent and allowed unspeakable acts to continue. The manipulators scream loudly making claims of great moral "evils" to induce greater anxiety and panic. Beliefs become safe only for those who comply with what fits the narrative of those in control. The screams became louder, emphasizing the differences in cultures and races. Forcing compliance with stories of atrocities that are untrue. Yet, it didn't happen overnight.

It is humane of us not to be able to fathom how far we have come from the traces of the past when we are so focused on taking new strides towards the goals we have set for ourselves. We have probably heard it from external sources about how much we have changed as a person, how we have imbibed nuances of transformation that have made us embrace newer habits, personas, mindsets and even surroundings.
