JURASSIC PARK (1993) — dir. Steven Spielberg

[bettsc]

A moment of vulnerability on main. I love my job and feel so grateful to have been able to dedicate a career to protecting and advancing human rights.

I have burst into tears so many times while trying to work today. Trying to draft a post-election email to coalition members, supporters, activists...trying to respond to their concerns and hold their devastation along with my own.

The rage and anger are simmering, and I'm letting that guide me through whatever is next, but fuck. The sadness and grief feel almost insurmountable at the moment.

Grieve AND organize.

Good article by David Hunter on how to survive the Trump presidency, both on the personal and on the political plane.

I'm just passing by to give you a big hug, Betts. I can't imagine how you're feeling right now. I wish I could bake you a cake or something. Sending you love instead. 💛

Sweet, sweet, Emily, thank you so much 💙 I will take your hug and give one right back. It’s a really upsetting and scary moment, but I feel community and friendship will help us through.

And cake—cake helps soothe all ailments.

My liege, how do you remain positive in a world so cruel?

There is a lot of despair right now. I do not wish to add for it. A lot of things can be taken from me, but I will remain hopeful and silly and filled with love for the people I care about. They will not take away my joy

anyway, we get up, we make the bed, we feed the pets, we try to let kindness guide our encounters with the world, we scream and scream and scream and scream until it turns into manic laughter, we feed ourselves, we water the plants, etc

Were you helping refugees at the border last week by donating to mutual aid groups or doing translation and outreach?

Were you calling for ceasefire and doing what you could to aid Palestinians last week? (Esims for gaza here)

Were you talking to your unhoused neighbors with respect and advocating for them and protesting encampment clearances last week? (There's no link just treat people like people and share cash if you can)

Last week were you participating in community meal shares and free stores?

Were you supporting bail funds and protesting the carceral state and trying to stop executions and humanizing incarcerated people last week? (How to write a letter to an incarcerated person)

Were you working to increase access to abortion medications and birth control and abortions in general last week?

Did you share information about DIY HRT and spend time paying attention to the books your school board was banning and make your lgbtqia friends welcome and included last week?

Were you aware of the groundwork being laid for a 2028 general strike and the ways that you could support one (contributing to strike funds, joining and supporting unions, attempting to unionize your workplace) last week?

Were you helping the people around you, were you caring for your friends, were you making information free, were you picking up trash, were you sharing a meal, were you tracking fascists, were you challenging the wrongs done by your government in the ways available to you last week?

Good. Keep doing that.

A better world is possible. Keep working toward it.

I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself
