It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Thank you for screaming into the void. Your scream is very important to us.

Unfortunately we are experiencing an exceptionally high volume of screams right now. You may wish to scream into the void later.

The Revolution Will Not be Televised
-take more Polaroids, take pictures with film
- put an actual pen to actual paper

Today was, in every way, a brutal lunch to the gut. A reminder that authoritarianism is weaponized abuse meant to wear you down and destroy your hope.

Drink some water. Get some rest. Practice self-care. Ground yourself in your principles. We will defeat this. Not tonight or tomorrow. But we will.

Remember:

It can be sad. It can be tragic. It can be disgusting and depressing and discouraging.

But it doesn’t have to mean this is who we are now. It’s what our country is doing right now and that’s not the same as who we are.

Who we are isn’t up to him.
