You are one in 5 million! Excellent. ( I read this count) But I bet that number isn't as large as the actual turnout.
There’s something special about doing things at the last moment, at least for me, when I follow a sudden feeling, without worrying too much. When I do this, the universe seems to help me.
It’s like everything falls into place, and doors open that I didn’t expect. The best part? I feel free from fear, doubt, and routine. I find new parts of myself, the parts that only show up when I take a chance. For the last protest, I was ambivalent about going and decided at the last minute, yes. I find magic happens in those moments when I trust myself and jump in.
I became part of something bigger, working with the flow of life. I feel like I’m discovering parts of myself I didn’t know or had long ago left behind. Now, I can be in a crowd without fear or feeling trapped. And having said all this, I did NOT go to the No Kings Rally, it was terribly hot and having very recently recovered from my health crisis, I had zero doubt about my choice to stay home, without regret. Michael went with our neighbor, and they were so happy that they went.
Now, on a different note, I have an issue with the label “No Kings Day Protest.” Our president is far worse than any modern king, so calling it that doesn’t capture the real danger and downplays the real problem. A better name might be “No Tyrants Day” or “No Dictators Day.” I understand it’s probably named after the revolution here, but still, the wording could feel stronger. I love you Nora and look forward to the next transmission next week.
I first took in this article by listening to it - using that substack feature, and I'm so glad I came here and saw those gorgeous potatoes! I've been saying I want to learn to make good breakfast potatoes and those are some good inspiration!
Also happy to read about your No Kings experience. I have seen so many positive pictures and demonstrations of solidarity, which is a welcome balm for the soul.

Thank you, Shannon. Yeah, these potatoes were so excellent as was the protest.
