We all know who the obvious heroes of 2020 are: the first responders, the people working on vaccines, the people who work the liquor stores when everything else is closed.
that's easy.
but what about the people who unintentionally make our lives better?
they didn't mean to do it - they just did - thru their mistakes.
for example:
-hilaria baldwin. she's a hero because she finally provided us with a story we all can laugh along with. Her pretending to be Spanish gave all of us a chance to poke fun of her, during the otherwise, worst news of the century. We needed her pretentious lies to make us smile.
she had a rough christmas, so we could have a fun one.
-the "karen" in the park. Remember that lady who called the police on the black guy because he told her to put her dog on the leash? So why is she a hero? Because her irrational misguided panic reminds us, that as humans, we all are capable of this.
Who hasn't snapped at people for no reason? or misidentified a culprit where there is none. The worst feeling you can experience, is when you falsely accuse someone of something. it's the worst. When someone else does it, remind yourself that you've done it too - and do it less. or not at all.
-Jeffrey Toobin. We don't need to rehash what he did. but what he did served as a red flag- or a reminder - that anything embarrassing can be accidentally recorded. in his case its humiliating.
but his humiliation now reminds millions of men - and women - to check your lap top after every zoom call. I check my computer when i'm filming anything now.
so you see what i mean by "unintentional heroes."
do you have any? i'd love to hear about them!

What person did you realize that you totally misjudged after meeting them?
What is something stupid you did as a teenager that still scares you when you think about it?

@Junemarie53 What book were you forced to read for a class book report that you hated?
@NJFLA What’s something you grew up with that kids today have no idea about?
I'm going to take a sabbatical from The Gutter until after midterms. I already suspect what the outcome will be (without the SAVE Act) and believe, at the very least, that the Dems will regain the House.
So I've decided to take the next 3 months away from news/social media to enjoy this free and prosperous America before it returns to the Dark Ages again.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of the summer! 🌞😎
Just drove through the worst thunderstorm that I ever have. That's because I was riding with my sister and her family and my brother-in-law refused to pull over, even when visibility was zero and he kept driving through water that was splashing over the hood of the car. I kept telling him to pull over but he wouldn't. Finally, I yelled and he listened, but only for a few minutes then back on the road we were, following along with the path of the storm. Again, I insisted that we pull over and wait it out a little. What an effing nightmare! We had met my other nieces for lunch and it was as nice lunch and had a great time but on the way home, it started storming. I am only home safely by the grace of God. WTF is wrong with people???
Oh, if only...And let this be the last time. ..(2)
