Pop Your Bubble

Today is the last day of the President Obama Administration. Tomorrow Donald Trump takes an oath to serve our country to the best of his ability. I hope, with every fiber of my being, that every impression I have of him, from his business acumen in my hometown of Atlantic City to everything I've seen and read from all over the media spectrum during this election, is misconstrued. Because regardless of who I voted for, tomorrow he will become my president.

This is the cornerstone of democracy. What we don't like, we have the capacity to change. 

What are the roadblocks we will face? The same roadblocks:
  • Media bias and the easy ability to live in your curated newsfeed, seeing only what you want to see.
  • Slacktivism- the idea that changing your profile picture or posting a picture is the same as donating to a cause, whether it's time, money, or resources. Not backing up your "thoughts and prayers" with actions.
  • "It's not my problem." I don't know anyone who lives in Flint or Ferguson. My connection to the Native American nations at Standing Rock stopped at my grandmother. Yet, these are all real threats and horrors that our modern society has managed to gloss over.
If I am going to do my yearly call to action (because I haven't blogged since last year), let it be this: Let your actions speak for you. Give yourself over to a cause you care about: Human Rights, Planned Parenthood, the Growing Skills Gap, Animal Rights, the list goes on.

Pop your bubble and live your life differently. That's how change happens.
