My husband watches zero news and pays no attention to politics. When I try to talk about how disturbing I’m finding current events, he suggests I just stop paying attention. But I feel a responsibility to pay attention to bear witness, to educate myself…but the emotional toll is very real. You, too?

Excellent and actionable.

Doing my best to avoid anything inauguration related today. Feeling sad, feeling fearful, feeling like there is an ominous haze blocking my view of the future. Hoping we survive the next four years without too much damage to our principles and institutions.
