Well, it's getting warmer in our part of the world; crocuses are popping up, grass is greening, there are buds on the trees! We used to have a real winter, but now we're inflicted with this fake winter, with just a little snow, making a nuisance of itself!
Just as it is hard to remember the beautiful winters of years gone by, it's hard to remember a time when people celebrated diversity, and were generous towards people who were poor, and soup kitchens and food pantries were supported with enthusiasm! Elon Musk has said that empathy is a weakness of civilization. From where does he get this nonsense? That sort of sentiment will probably not resonate with a lot of people; we've progressed too far for people to feel right about dumping on the unfortunates. [Musk himself must feel constrained by social expectations from the 'richest man in the world'! When he does what he wants, like an overgrown kid, he feels the disapproval of the community, and he's unhappy! He longs for a society that will cheer him on, when he grinds the poor and helpless under his heel. In Trump, he must have thought he has found such a person. Trump would consider the poor and helpless 'Losers' and worthy of destroying.]
I'm reading Concerto, and I described Sita, Trish, and Maryssa as generous and kindhearted. Back then I found it difficult to write about crude, cynical, cruel characters. I guess that's a weakness. I'm a Loser, according to the Trump classification! All LGBTQ are 'Losers.' I guess I'm saying that I write about soft-hearted, generous people.
