I sure love and appreciate your writing. I also appreciate the efforts you make to bear witness to this crazy (and vindictively cruel) timeline. I was at a yoga class and the instructor always closes off with a gratitude practice and talks about how to treat others. I noted in my own thoughts how far most of the maGA tribe has drifted from such worthwhile aspirations. The other day I made a list of what I call the GOG (or gang of ghouls) to itemize all of the players that make up this cruel clown car. It’s staggering when you lay it out in front of yourself. Anyway thanks but do exercise self-care!
Although I love Rook's reporting, I questioned how sustainable his schedule was. Sometimes we know when we need a break and sometimes our body demands we rest. Take care of yourself Rook. DJT isn't worth losing your mind over.
Hmm. Symptoms sound remarkably familiar. Particularly the “chronic moral abrasion” and “exhaustion”. But not the intermittent part. Could it be a contagious viral infection that’s rapidly spreading? Let’s hope so, because IMO, there’s simply no such thing as caring too much.
(And the DDS is a bit odd and potentially disturbing. Or hilarious, depending on how it’s expressed. Please keep us updated if your DDS symptoms increase…)
In any case, I’m sure there are many of us who are experiencing similar duress and symptoms. So stay the course, hug everyone around you. And BREATHE!!!
We love you Rook! Please ensure you practice self-care as well. Need to ensure you put your oxygen mask on first before helping others. Thank you for your invaluable service to our Nation.
Rook T Winchester is an icon living. An absolute legend.
Love the Burroughs reference! Brilliant piece and so enjoyable! Thanks ever so much from an exhausted Minnesotan. ❤️🩹
He just dropped in to report on what condition, his condition was in.

The gonzo journalist's brain cells die for our sins and I am eternally grateful for the sacrifice and dedication. Onward.

Well I’m now a Rooklet. If that’s what fans are called?
