3. That's some awesome fluid prose

I want to re-read it though because it sounds a tad flattering .

After all that typing, from now on, I'm going to repost that on every "TDS" reply I get. I know I only hit the highlights, but it was getting too long.


I try that sometimes…reposting the same things when they are things I feel should be seen. But I worry I would be taken for a bot.
I am planning on improving the writing in DU posts going forward. I should put more thought into them.

I had an existential crisis over alarm that I could be mistaken for whatever an influencer is and then realized with relief that no, there is a term for what I am is a “grassroots activist”. Now if I could only figure out how that applies these days to my tangled path.

My mom used to write letters to the editor. But this is something more complicated, but at least I have started finding my feet.
