One hard lesson I have to keep learning over and over -- is that to get more done efficiently and without mistakes I actually need to SLOW DOWN -- that old meta motto of "move fast and break things" really is true. Nothing needs to be broken.

Years ago at UMd, I met Michelle Singletary because she was friends with my roommate Terri, and thought, my, what a lovely, smart person she is. That sentiment still stands true. PS -- don't take the federal worker buyout.

Stop freaking out and get to work. Actions speaker louder. Contact lawmakers. Support undocumented neighbors. Protect LGBT+ friends & family. Organize boycotts. Fund anti-fascist causes. Squash lies. Guard your mental health. Commune offline. Find joy. Keep the faith. Take breaks. Don't lose hope.
