If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

A week-long writing retreat brings me down a rabbit hole about thresholds. You can read about it in this Substack - and enjoy the photos!

Thresholds
Crossing a threshold alters our way of being and leads somewhere new, whether there’s joy, sorrow, anger, or fear in the process.
