I'll be stepping back away from the internet for a while...

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Emile (a host of the The DU Lounge forum).

...and I don't do any social media, or corporate media, so I guess I'll just be living in the real world for a while.

Like so many of us, I need to arrange my life to be as safe as possible in the face of another trump term, so there's some serious changes I'll need to make quickly. This election will bring a lot of harm to all of us, and especially to our home planet, but I'm afraid there just isn't very much we can hope to do about that.

I wish us all the best of luck.

Wa. A Japanese term that recognizes the tumult one is in, but there will be a return to harmony.
It is my comfort place this day.

See you real soon!

I hope so, since I generally enjoy your writings, especially on Gaza.
