If you've been a reader of my blog for some time, maybe wondering why I've had so many one-day or two-day breaks, I'll tell you. Due to the situation in the United States with the current president and his bogus Administration, I've been involved with a movement in the United States promoting a general strike. The organization has the idea that if 3.5% of the population goes on strike, it will severely affect the economy and therefore affect the administration and its oligarchs who support it.
Much of my evening now is spent communicating with them because, being far away as I am, it's the only form of resistance that I can offer. I know this blog started out as a research blog, and for many years, I've been telling our tales of living in Poland.
However, I feel it's important for me to at least try to do what I can to help stop some of the damage that is being done to democracy in the country where I was born. So, after Joan goes to bed in the evenings, I spend much of my time communicating with them and doing what I can to support and help them progress.
I feel the goal of 3.5% while it may be effective in small countries, in the United States, it is going to take a long time to accomplish that, and I don't feel we have that much time before the dictatorship is complete.
So that's what's been happening at these times when I don't write anything or say anything about life in Poland, because I'm busy trying to do whatever I can to help recover the United States from this catastrophe of a presidency.
Because I have a deadline on this blog of midnight to publish by the day and I don't always see it because I'm too busy talking with someone, writing to someone, emailing to someone, writing to a Senator or House Representatives for various things that I think may help somewhat and that's the reason I've been absent on those days when I don't write.
