I’ve been off my anxiety medicine for awhile now since I lost my health insurance a few months ago.

Sometimes it can be something unacknowledged in a person's day to day living situation that's causing anxiety. I'll give an example. A good friend of mine was prescribed and taking antidepressant and anti-anxiety medication. At that time he was living in the back of a jeep. He also consumed up to 12 beers a day. Ostensibly, he was 'happy' with his life, having lived this way (and in similar small vehicles) for more than a decade and was collecting disability related to psychological problems.
Well, this rocked on for a while until his jeep started having problems. By coincidence he had to file about 4 years of tax returns around that time. Looking through Craigslist I saw a small, old, and very funky RV for sale in a town about 100 miles away. I convinced him to have a look and to try somethi ng different for once. So, I drove him all the way there, he loved the damned thing, and he drove back in it. I convinced him to install a solar system and found a 12v Waeco cooler/freezer for it also.
Now, I think he's been in that rig for about 4 years, no longer takes antidepressants, cut his Valiums down to 1/3, and drinks less then 1/2the beer he used to.. and has managed to save some money. He's a LOT happier with his lot in life too and better able to deal with setbacks. All it took was to change a few things in his life, some seemingly minor like the cooler (allowed him to buy and keep fresh food instead of eating beans n stews out of a can, saving money at the same time), to basically turn his life around. He ain't 'cured' of his problems, but is far less crippled by them and, therefor, considerably more 'functional'.
Anyway, that's about it.. typing finger getting tired.

I wish I could do anything.

Lies lubricate the machinery of society. Unfortunately, many out tend to overlube, which can lead to mechanical failure.

If it bloomed beside the infamous downed tree then maybe it didn't.

The plan now is to flood the courts with Republican judges; can't do time if the judge won't convict you.

I think we're now going to see just how many even bigger lies/outrages the GOP can shove down the collective throats of the US populace before they FINALLY revolt. Sheep they might be, but a big enough stampede will trample ya.
Just an example of an outright lie: the doctored vid of Jim Acosta supposedly 'assaulting' an intern at the whitehouse press conference and the GOP using it to outright slander him and revoke his press privileges.

Is it ok for male actors or musicians to wear a touch of makeup on stage?

I think it would be a rarity to find someone that doesn't.
