Looking forward to meeting you!
At work, without really thinking about it, I signed up for an online webinar/training with @newsanctuarynsc.bsky.social . So I guess I chose action groups?
It's so hard to know when to act. Take some time today to figure out what will force you to action. If _____ happens, then what will you do? Fight? Flee? Join action groups?
Take the time to decide, it may bring you peace in the meantime and momentum when you're ready.
