Agree with every part of this thread.
My own writing practice (including my own version of morning pages) was rebooted the day after the election and I’m writing like my hair is on fire.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.
Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.
Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

More book bans incoming, I’m sure. I hate what’s happening.
Three years ago, we broke the news that a school superintendent in Granbury, TX, ordered librarians to remove books with LGBTQ characters
It led the Education Department to open a civil rights investigation
It now appears the Trump admin has ended the investigation and 10 others tied to book bans

A religious leader asked for kindness toward vulnerable people. The full machinery of right-wing outrage has now been deployed against her personally. That it takes great bravery to pose this simple request is something to ponder.
Can we summon the courage to follow her lead and speak out?

I feel bad for the folks who have to commute again, but I have to admit I’m getting some pleasure from the absolutely dismayed Trump voters who had to return to the office.
