Hi from Patt. I’ve been reading your stuff from the minute it crossed my consciousness, probably from one of the first 10 posts. I’ve lived a long time so, an aging hippie peacenik socialist anti-racist feminist who still likes to stir the pot, march and protest. Or, to be more current #resist. But, also married, dog-lover, ecstatic great-grandma of 7 (who wants a better world for those little buggers), volunteer in several food charities. Live in NJ, ex-NYer but vacation in VT. Huge Bernie advocate of course.

Hey, all I’m from that state that’s due West of Canada (no Alaska isn’t down by Hawaii). I love my state and many of the people in it but always disappointed that our rep and sens are always Republican - now our very own Lisa Murkowski is being a voice of reason (at least for health care). I’m checking to see they sky isn’t falling… I appreciate all the work you do @matt and of course the rest of the staff. Makes me feel less alone in my shock of the country-destroyers that are 45 and his regime.
I like camping, walking my dog on the beach, and plotting the trajectory of the parabola that will be 45’s rise and inevitable downfall on an Excel graph.

I’m one of the old people, retired and living in Wisconsin. I thought we had solved a lot of these problems a long time ago and they are cropping up again. It’s so very frustrating. I love the WTF daily report and find myself spending way too much time worrying about our country and the crazy course we are on. Thanks for letting me be a part of this caring community!

Hi Matt, I just love your daily posts. Thank you. I’m a Quantum Shift Facilitator trainer. My view is that if we carry on as we are, in one hundred years most of life (including humans) will be extinct. This is mainly as the result of a problem that we have created ourselves - climate change. I’m 73. The chances of my kids getting to that age naturally is about 50/50. The chances of my grandchildren reaching my age is about 2 percent. And my great grandchildren - next to zero. We created this problem in our current consciousness. We cannot solve it in the same consciousness. So we need to change - radically and quickly. I give it about five years. But there is a way. If you’re interested in helping trigger the quantum shift, see http://freedomwithin.org/programs/facilitator-program/

Hi all. I am that geeky engineer who looks at bridges and machines and all kinds of stuff, and thinks about how they were designed and what the stresses look like, etc. Total geek, and data based. My logic has let me down as I try to understand wtf is going on in our country, and who in their right mind could have voted for Trump. I love the WTF daily updates so that I can get a handle on when my family and I should just run for cover.

Hi Matt!
I’m Liz, the world-famous-in-Pound-Ridge-NY Scone Lady. I enjoy your updates very much. They help keep me sane. Keep up the great work! You can find me on Instagram @sconeladylarkin where I post mostly food pictures, a number of which are scones. Scones are very delicious! And if you don’t like scones, you just haven’t tried mine yet. 
Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! Cheers.

Any gf recipes? I really really miss decent baked goods.
Hi there!
My name is Lydia and I’m from Seattle WA. I’m a stay home mom to a 3 year old.
I watch the news and read the news several times a day. There is so much psycho babble that it’s hard to keep track. I’m so glad to have stumbled upon this webpage. Truly a gem.
Our democracy, environment, human decency, world is under seige. I go back and forth from being proactive about resisting the Trump Administration to feeling apathetic. It’s all so screwy. Some days it just feels like too much.

I’m a retired baby boomer (pissed off granny) who has been actively engaged in this country most of my adult life, sometimes more active than others. I think things are so bad this time around that we can’t afford to look away or take too much time off, though we have to take care of ourselves too. Some may find WTFJHT alarming. To me, it’s a way to check and see that things aren’t any worse than I believe, and that nothing worse has happened in our day. I share the contents with my facebook pages, and highlight certain items on many occasions. ! A Selfie with Diego Rivera Agrarian Revolution|690x431

I live in Cambridge,MA. I’m a life long Democrat, got my start as an activist during the Vietnam War. I’m a proud white liberal supporter of Black Lives Matter, believe in the protection and welcome of immigrants, including Muslims, LGBTQ rights, public education, gun control, unions, housing for homeless, healthcare for everyone, and stewardship of the earth. I also believe in science and the reality of climate change. I’m sad and angry about the death spiral trump is taking my country on, comforted by Matt and all of you out there in the world, objecting. I have six amazing good hearted grandchildren and when Barack Obama was president, I imagined leaving them in a better world with some hope and kindness.

Hi all! I am Carolyn. I’m a teacher on Long Island in New York. I have been in a state of shock for nearly a year, each day thinking, “It can’t get worse!” Then, you know, it does. Everyday. Just found this forum, but I’ve been a WTFJHT reader nearly since it’s inception. I love this forum, and I appreciate all of the research to make my life a little easier.

Hello All
I am just finding the community live in the Twin Cities - MN where we are a blue outpost to be sure. Currently; medically LTD/retired. Worked in Biotech and when not looking at life or work from a science perspective use the BFA and painting view to frame the natural world - mostly through watercolor. Glad I am allowed the time and ability to do this but can’t just sit in the studio when the country is going to shit. So, always want to connect with others if for no more reason than to affirm my sanity and more to join up and take a stand whether it is by sharing and caring and learning what is going on, here in the online community and beyond.

Hi from the SF Bay Area! I’ve become a political news addict over the last 2 years, and I’m hoping to find a place to learn and chat. I look forward to future conversations!

I dunno, we might need those paintings. Trees and animals and mountains seem to die or disappear a whole lot faster than stupid.

Greetings from southern California.
So glad to meet like-minded people.
Hope I replied to this in the right way.
I appreciate so much the emails from Matt, Such a huge task and he does it so well. Thanks for your hard work!
My name is Stacy. I teach college English, composition, and Liberal Studies. I write, quilt, and do artsy stuff in my spare time. I have a blog that lately has been centered on my missing son, but it’s also about writing. My blog: Over the River and Through the Woods
I’m a STL Cards fan. I fell in love with the game a year and a half ago and I regret not having found it sooner. (I took a book to the game in case I was bored. LOL) I am mostly a fan because my husband’s from STL; I am smitten by a few players who play for other teams, which makes the hub grouse about it, but hey, Giancarlo Stanton, man. And Marcell Ozuna!
And Kershaw? Come on. Yadi Molina’s first in my heart, (and the Cards’ Magneuris Sierra) but there’s enough love for all the hotshots.
I’m busy with work and Kiwanis so may not get in here regularly and my responses to comments may be delayed. (Just letting you all know I’m not ignoring anyone.)
I LOVE mobianboy’s greeting to all us WTF’ers. LOL
