Take time away from the news and screens, then continue the fight.

That fight will likely look different for many of us, but the work is still at hand. Don't give up the joys in life during the fight though. Take care of your body, mind, and soul. Nourish yourself with food, laughter, love, movement, and rest.

It's a hard fought battle and it our turn to push back against racism, fascism, patriarchy and demand better for ourself and our future generations.

Yes, it's bad, I'm not diminishing that fact. However once we get to thinking that it's worse than it's ever been we allow ourselves to accept defeat.

Here's the thing though, we are not special in this fight. It's just now happening to us. Don't go on thinking that this time it's any worse than it was before in history.
