    TIME TO GO

    [vc_row full_width=”stretch_row”][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5859″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”CLICK HERE TO GET OUR NEWSLETTER” style=”custom” custom_background=”#0a0908″ custom_text=”#f2f4f3″ shape=”square” align=”center” button_block=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fturnipstyle.com%2Fsusbcribe”][vc_column_text]OK so it seems every expert feels a need, to discuss at length, “what will be remembered about Trump’s legacy?” and while I have a hard time choking down the word “legacy” in association with anything he has done here we are asking this question.

    Now, I do not think I am in any way an expert, but just for shits and giggles, let me throw this out there.

    If the text books are written properly, in enough countries, the world will look back at us, much like we looked at those in Europe prior to Nazi Germany.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][adning id=”5751″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1611126603945{padding-top: 10px !important;}”]And of course those students, sitting in their high school; history, or social studies class, on a sunny Friday afternoon, wishing they were somewhere else right now, are going to be shaking their heads in bewilderment. At us, just like we did 1930s Europe. And they will ask, hopefully, the same questions we did, about how this could happen.

    What we need to hope for, rather what we need to work toward, is that in this future when those students are in high school learning about these past 4 years, the only way we as a race will avoid repeating history yet again, when those students are in their middle-ish ages, is to have planted the seeds of curiosity in them very young and built an infrastructure that will nurture and feed that curiosity with education and resources.

    Because, what we want is to have far less of those students glazed over, asking themselves, “when am I ever gonna need to know this stuff?” like we did when, yup you guessed it, we were looking back at 1930s Europe.

    I was hoping 2020 would be the year we would put the anecdote “hindsight is 20/20″ into practise and it seems we had further to go before we could turn around and start climbing out of the hole we’ve been dug into. Instead, we now have the year 2020 to use as a beacon of what NOT to repeat and that will be our 20/20 vision.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][adning id=”5812″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1611126611518{padding-top: 10px !important;}”]The legacy is not Trump’s to be taken or named. The legacy is OURS as humanity and the legacy will be how we rise up to make change by;

    1. Stop doing what we have been doing that isn’t working.
    2. Repair the damage we have caused by doing what has not been working.
    3. Find a practice that will work.
    4. Put that practice into play and normalize it.

    He is just one selfish abhorrent man, we are a species. We are bigger than he has been or ever will be.

    Oh, and one other thing I just want to add in closing; this is a little message to all those whining insurrectionists and Republicans that were complicit or aided in any way, shape or form, that want to appeal for healing, we can all start healing when your traitorous asses are in jail.

    Tots & pears!

    Make it a great day for yourself; enjoy the Inauguration on TV and continue to stay home and stay safe.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1600664548223{padding-right: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]

  • HOW’S YOUR HAIRCUT

    HOW’S YOUR HAIRCUT

    Welcome to HOWZURHED – A chat with TURNIPHED. A discussion or chat about what is going on in TURNIPHED’S ‘hed’. This is a new combination of a few “projects” (THE POOL IS CLOSED) I have had over the years at TURNIP STYLE. You will find written pieces here of course, follow #howzurhed on the SOCIALS and when it comes back you will be able to enjoy HOWZURHED segments in the upcoming podcast.

    Let’s jump in shall we?

    Doesn’t it just give you the shits, errr I mean the giggles, when you are watching Legally Blond 2, released in 2003, during COVID-19 PANDEMIC LOCKDOWN 2020, and you hear the following line.

    IF WE LET THOSE THAT SPEAK FOR US COMPROMISE OUR VOICE…THEN THIS COUNTRY IS IN FOR A REALLY BAD HAIRCUT.

    ELLE WOODS – LEGALLY BLOND 2 (2003)

    We all know that it is easy to take words of yesteryear and apply an understanding to the reference or meaning that suits us. You can see that I chose to do that with the graphic used in the SNAP SHOT both here and on the SOCIALS.

    But let’s just put that aside for a moment; there is a strong message in that speech regardless of the focus. During that scene, Elle Woods is addressing this House of Representatives (I think?) and she gives a speech with the above quoted passage, which is sage advice for almost any advocacy.

    She speaks of getting a “freak by chance” appointment at the fanciest pretty-beauty-salon there is. As she is there, taken in by all the wonder and splendor of her surroundings, Elle fails to realize what is being done to her hair. Wrong products, colour and cut.

    Yet, bamboozled by the glitz and glamour (LOOK OVER THERE!) she leaves with out saying a word.

    I just let you take from that what you will.

    Cheers

    There are 3 things I have taken to heart and I try and focus on. 3 things that I am trying to apply to my life.

    1. The only person you can always count on to speak up for you, is you.
    2. When you find others that are speaking the same message; make sure that you are directing your message effectively, in order to get the right response. (No point in complaining to your mechanic about your bad haircut. They won’t be able to fix it. And if they offer…RUN!)
    3. Start keeping the “when I grow up” promises that you made to yourself when you were a kid. (The reasonable ones! You still need to clean your room!)

    Now, I am in no way making any comment about any of your Quarantine-Self-Barbering that you have been undertaking in the past weeks. In fact, I have been overjoyed seeing how many of you surprise yourself with what you can achieve when you put your mind to it.

    Take care
