Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.
I grew up under the authoritarian rule of this man. As I celebrate the fact that I no longer have to share the same air as him, I also grieve deeply for myself and every other child who was made to believe hitting is love and love is contingent upon obedience. May you never rest in peace Dobson.

Today, do not let yourself get sucked into rage bait. Don’t read the comments sections. Dont go check that maga uncle’s social media. Dont fight with trolls. Holding ourselves accountable to boundaries around content only designed to dysregulate you allows us to stay focused and in the game.

Quick tip to rein in doomscrolling. ScreenZen allows you to set time limits on apps, to set a prompt for when you try to open an app (eg “Why are you checking), and will impose a delay in the app opening, all of which makes our use of tech more intentional (versus automatic) and boundaried.

SAVE Act just passed House. It is modern-day poll tax that would disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans, end online, mail + voter registration drives & require voters to register in person at election offices, forcing some rural voters to drive 8 hours to register. Total disaster in every way
🚨House voting on SAVE Act today, worst voter suppression bill ever considered by Congress. Could disenfranchise:
-21 million w/out access to citizenship docs
-69 million women who took spouses last name
-ends online + mail registration & voter reg drives

If the GOP understood anything about emotions (beyond how to manipulate people’s fear), they would know that gaslighting and invalidating people do not, in fact, calm them down.
It escalates anger. They are fueling the fire against them by their refusal to acknowledge reality.
