Talkin' About A Revolution
Standing Up To Dick Taters In Ways Big + Small
While the so-called “powers that be” continue fucking around in Washington—defying court orders, destroying decades of progress, and lying with every breath they take—I am busy working on my own revolution. Personally and professionally.
I don’t cower to bullies, chaos monsters, dick taters, domestic terrorists, or oligarchs.
These mfers may be able to ruin the economy with unnecessary tariffs and trade wars and spark real-world wars with their lack of common decency, diplomacy, and sense, but I urge you not to let them get you down. Or divide us further.
And if you find yourself fighting for billionaires’ best interests, please check yourself before you wreck yourself and bankrupt the rest of us. The audacity of their fuckery needs to truly fuck off.
So let's all do our part to keep on keeping on...with acts of rebellion big and small.
Me? I'm updating and upgrading my studio setup to help me be more creative and productive. That might not seem like a revolutionary act, but reclaiming my space, my work, and my energy is a middle finger to the cult of personality that’s overtaken this country for far too long.
Here are some other ways to stay sane and stand defiant in these desolate times:
Create Some Things
Art, music, writing, photography, a DIY project—whatever calls to you. Creation is an act of rebellion and resistance.
Support Independent Media + Artists
Big Tech and corporate news funnel outrage to keep us distracted. Seek out voices outside the algorithm. Throw some love (and money, if possible) at the indie artists, journalists, and creators who actually give a damn.
Speak The Triple Truth, Ruth
Push back against misinformation, call out bigotry, and speak your truth—even if it’s just within your circles. Silence lets the bullshit fester.
Take Care of Yourself + Your People
Rest. Hydrate. Hug someone. Laugh. Pet a kitty and/or a puppy. Whatever you do, remember the goal of the chaos is to exhaust us into submission. Fuck all of that.
Shop Smarter
Every dollar spent is a vote. Support local businesses, BIPOC/LGBTQ creators, and ethical brands whenever possible.Build Community
Find your people. Online, in your city, wherever. Community is a lifeline when the world feels like it’s burning.
Find Your Own Rebel Yell
Maybe it’s planting a garden. Maybe it’s calling your representatives daily. Maybe it’s refusing to let social media dictate your mental health. Maybe it’s something no one else has thought of yet.
Whatever you do, just don’t let them win by making you feel small, alone, or hopeless. Revolutions, big and small, start with ordinary people deciding they’ve had enough.
This is me, deciding. What are you doing/going to do, boo?
Best wishes for peace…pray help from above!

Clint, thank you! So well said. I already passed on to many other friends.
My perspective . . . . now is the single most important time in over 80 years . . . when each individual . . . each person . . . must NEVER remain silent. But that we need to become obnoxious or troublesome . . . but we must say "No" and we must push-back
