Impeachment 2.0, the prayer warrior version?

Warning: This post contains hope and joy tangled in various threads of tirade and trauma with a dollop of time travel. Please hold the problem in the Light. For one thing, it's the pandemic and, like everything else, RantWoman's personal prayer life is kind of hiccupy. Plus the circle of politically divergent Blind Prayer Warriors in RantWoman's life didn't pray together this week because of the Super Bowl. Also the WA state legislature is in session with many measures RantWoman is able to pay attention to thanks to both electronic and human connections. RantWoman further offers:

--Appreciation for the internet, for the devices and skills and connectivity in this age of pandemic to go many places, to meet many faces behind Twitter handles, to hear of young adults finding FCNL as an anchor point in the hustle and bustle of Washington DC.

--Appreciation and querulousness for that was then this is now. RantWoman a long time ago was an intern for the organization that is now Peace Action. The organization, then called SANE, had an office on C Street SE less than half a mile from the Capitol and the FCNL office. Though RantWoman has never visited the FCNL office, though RantWoman assumes people may be working from home due to the pandemic, RantWoman thinks razor wire and barricades are ugly, a drag, no matter where they get put. 

--A moment of electronic accessibility awe: All of the photos on the FCNL website have alt text so when RantWoman is resting her eyes while letting Mr. JAWS scream through text considerably faster than average speech, RantWoman has some idea what is in pictures without having to look at all of them. No this is not a digression and NO, RantWoman does not care how many clerks and former clerks of Quaker everything think this essential reality of RantWoman's life is somehow beside the point. For now, RantWoman will keep trying to CHILL and reach out to other Friends with vision issues who have come her way.

--A link to the EXTREMELY traumatizing video montage played at the start of Impeachment 2.0 hearings. RantWoman has previously seen SOME  the clips of January 6 events in Washing ton DC; RantWoman is glad to have watched the video on her cellphone so she could not really see some of the most disgusting and gut-wrenching moments others have told her are there. Watch with EXTREME caution.

--A link to a Trevor Noah segment about day 1 of Impeachment 2.0. RantWoman is truly grateful a. that Trevor Noah has a clip somewhere of African Dictator does coup and b. that Trevor Noah makes RantWoman smile without treating every Trump partisan like a flaming idiot. If you are afraid or not ready to laugh at all, don't click on the link

There. More than enough tangle for tonight.
