I’m a US-born senior woman and thrilled to be an expat living in Canada for a number of years. Still, it’s impossible to feel completely removed from the direction American society has taken. I’ve been enjoying your cartoons and appreciate the approach you take in the comments available to me as a non-subscriber. Today I took the plunge and signed on for a year. I know it will be well worth the price.
Thank you for joining us here, and for supporting me! I hope you get something from my daily missives. Our country is very confusing, to put it mildly, but still a good system I believe.
Thanks again to Liza for your engaging and insightful illustrations. So on point! Readers may find Heather Cox Richardson's current entry especially telling as she recounts the long history of the many who have struggled to build democracy and overcome autocracy in its varied dimensions and eras. As she (and Liza!) remind us, the shadow of slavery/male rule remains: Trump et al seek to keep the country "white." and --equally important--patriarchal.
We may find the work of author/activists such as Isabel Wilkerson (The Warmth of Other Suns), Zora Neal Hurston, Alice Walker, Edwidge Danticat, Toni Morrison and countless others to be welcomed anchors of power and strength amid storms. In NY, folks may be wonderfully heartened by googling Soulfire Farm, an educational activist farm outside Albany that grows food and seeks justice for poor folks of all colors and backgrounds.
We are surrounded by communities of strength and vision. Slavery/patriarchy has been deeply destructive and its imprint remains but it has also nourished centuries of strength and resistance. Thnx Liza and all working to build gender collaborative non-racist futures. Together......
We have been watching figure skating. Competitors from all over the world cheering each other on. Crowds cheering and encouraging all skaters. Something nice before bed with a light hearted book.
Ok, a valium hot toddy with a southern comfort chaser, a sound machine, and a vapid cozy mystery. God help us. Oh, and no need to thank us...we thank YOU. You were out there with the troops taking it all in and sorting it all out for us. xo
Thank you for your thoughtful drawings and commentary.
Our contribution was lobbing two votes into the whirlpool.

Melatonin and Tylenol and a fantasy novel before bed. No tv news.
Republicans are running a brotesque campaign.
Loved watching you draw this 💜
Thanks for coming, D.L., love your contributions. Perhpas we should schedule a special Seeing Things Zoom extra to rail against the patriarchy!
Ooh! I like that idea. I suspect an opportunity is just around the corner; timing is everything 😉
