It's ashame we have missed the opportunity to award Jane Goodall the Nobel Peace Prize. A truly deserving nominee. I will miss her brilliance, her insight, and most of all, her kindness.

Small acts of kindness and resistance matter.

Every conversation, every moment of care and every refusal to give in adds up.

You don’t have to do everything.

Just do something.

Beyond exasperated with Trumpster coworkers who had no problem running their mouth before the election NOW posting "I'm soooo tired of people complaining about our president..." like we just don't like his policies and not that we're witnessing a coup. Read the fucking news you twat.

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Tragedy and grief used to unite us. Times have changed, but likemimded hearts will always find one another. Your words act as a beacon that lead us to other empathetic, kind souls. Keep shining bright, we need you. Love, always.
