Grieve AND organize.

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

genuinely horrifying to me how many americans clearly care more about money and their own self interest and power to the point of buying into facism than like. maintaining the bare basics of human rights and caring about other people. and this isn’t just about the presidency, this is about congress and the house being so right leaning, filled with facist rhetoric. this is about americans losing any modicum of what it means to be empathetic or democratic and it’s sick

gen z has to reckon with its radicalization problem. you are not a morally pure and superior generation of youth come to save the world, your men and boys are radicalized at an unprecedented level and you ignore it because it’s too hard to address but you have to. these boys are in your classes, they date your friends, you know them and you cannot continue to pretend this is an “old white guy” problem

if you're waking up like me thinking "where do we even go from here?"

you:

build community & involve yourself locally

learn self sustainability skills

choose kindness

protect others & yourself

join or build a mutual aid group and/or network

find time for small joys (the arts, cooking a meal you love, spending time with loved ones, etc.)

🌸 This is an election day self-care checkpoint. 🌸

Reminder that it's not healthy to stress-watch endless election coverage. It won't change the results. Save your energy and strength for any potential fights ahead.
