Happy New Year to you, dear Tessa, too!

I just posted this as a comment on my latest post (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/dispatches-from-the-new-normal-front/), but I think your readers would appreciate this as well and may wish to join in:

I’d like to make a public service announcement encouraging anyone on Twitter to call out the colossal hypocrisy of the Illinois Holocaust Museum’s new papers-please policy (https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/kitten-corner-immersive-education/). I have posted the following tweets on this thread (https://twitter.com/ihmec/status/1476934101420716034):

Your new exhibit titled “Forever Again” takes performance art to a whole new level of meta.

If this is not a satirical demonstration of ignorant and hypocritical discrimination against “disease-spreaders,” see https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-colluder-stop-enabling to brush up on the history you are repeating.

Maybe you should listen to what a Holocaust survivor thinks about your execution of “Forever Again”:

Radiate love. The universe echoes back!”

Bless you! So glad I found you, sane, intelligent, wordsmith, etc! Always happy to see you in my mail. We have a Year ahead, but if we all talk, share, hug, support, we will prevail. Arrogance brings mistakes.

I am pleased to be part of each others' lives- and we are just at the beginning of this relationship which will unfold in a way that enables us to do more good.

Every twice in a lifetime comes a soulful wordsmith who calls out human hubris in its so many disguised forms. Tessa, you & Charles Eisenstein exemplify these courageous qualities. It is no small thing to humbly speak your truth in questioning policies that strip people of basic human rights in the name of the common good.

The compassion to face off fear with a big heart is exemplary of the best of human qualities. You have inspired many; we wish you blessings of continued free speech flowing like a wild river in a raging storm. Namaste 🤜🏽🙏🤛🏽

I feel like the weatherman in Groundhog Day... and I was born the next day.

If Punxsutawney Phil sees six more weeks of masking, there will be hell to pay!

Happy New Year from a winter weary Canadian. Wish I felt less grumpy.

Time Travelers,

Years are sometimes better in retrospect, or maybe just more tolerable without the anticipatory tension and anxiety. I think this will have been the last year that anybody could even make themselves believe that things would eventually "go back to normal".

I'm feeling better about 2021 since I finally caught and quickly got over COVID, thanks to ivermectin, vitamin-D, zinc, quercetin and lecithin, all of which you can buy at a pharmacy and/or feedstore, depending on what your feedstore carries in the supplement-for-humans department.

Jenny did even better on post exposure ivermectin treatment, never having fever or severe fatigue.

There was a lot of tension with the creation of a lower class of humans, "the unvaccinated", which I morally had to join.

There was the inevitable firing to exclude me from the good, compliant people at the clinic.

The dramatic sneak-attack firing of the gardener story is here: https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/10/go-down-gardening.html

I am hearing that has not worked well. I know some very good nurses left because of the change in politics.

I wish everybody well who still serves there, and know that many still hold me as a friend and colleague.

We have squandered our savings and my modest pension savings from the clinic upon the "mini-McMansion" addition to our homestead in Yoakum, which is not actually finished, but Boy does it look finished from the outside!

We are making arrangements to bring the inside into completion in this coming year, the sooner the better, but the initial rush phase is over except some touch-ups.

Thanks to those helping us with this!

Retrospectively Yours,

John & Jenny at sunset with "dream mini-mc-mansion" https://www.johndayblog.com/2021/12/sunset-on-2021.html

Many thanks for your clarity and honesty, Tessa. I am always happy to find your words of wisdom in my feed, grateful for the humanity you bring to difficult subjects.

May this be a year where we move away from the ‘Pravda-clichés’ you mentioned and towards creating a world more encouraging and respectful of each person’s unique voice.

Happy New Year! Much love 💕
