I don’t like who I am on social media, as much as I done myself the rest of the time. I’m not sure I think anyone is at their best on social media. The last thing I said those things about was alcohol. I quit alcohol.06 May 2026 22:31 +0000at://did:plc:waqe556efk24vfis4kanj2ie/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml7qvzlakc2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/danacorn.bsky.social/post/3ml7py2os7c2aThree years ago today, we were in Taupō, New Zealand, and I cut my head on an underwater treasure chest, in a cave behind a waterfall in a geothermal heated pool that had a movie screen and a swim-up bar (which might not be irrelevant). I happily explain the scar to people.06 May 2026 22:14 +0000at://did:plc:waqe556efk24vfis4kanj2ie/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml7py2os7c2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/danacorn.bsky.social/post/3ml7mp7yuws2aI actually take the opposite approach. I anticipate good things could happen and I’m always a little bit excited. It does mean being disappointed sometimes. But the anticipation is half the fun of almost anything! Why rob yourself of that? And maybe I’m just lucky, but many things do work out.

Longtime readers will remember! It was called “I Drew This.” I drew it (ha) during the Bush administration. Do you remember what it was like, back then? When it was almost socially unacceptable to criticize Bush or his war?06 May 2026 20:13 +0000at://did:plc:waqe556efk24vfis4kanj2ie/app.bsky.feed.post/3ml7ja32rd22ahttps://bsky.app/profile/danacorn.bsky.social/post/3ml7hgktetk2aI feel bad. A follower showed up in my thread and said something that apparently sounded reasonable in her head, but antagonized me, and also a lot of my other followers, and we kind of dogpiled her, and she just deactivated her account.

The Democratic Party is basically the only thing standing between us and absolute evil. If you spend your time attacking it, I don’t care WHO you are, you are the opposition. I won’t ever be afraid to call you that.
