Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Moral injury is something we talked a lot about during the pandemic. What is it?

“In traumatic or unusually stressful circumstances, people may perpetrate, fail to prevent, or witness events that contradict deeply held moral beliefs and expectations”.

1. Pace yourself. Things are awful, but you cannot sustainably stay in a doom spiral.

2. Don’t reinvent the wheel. Organizers have been in these spaces for years. See what is already happening and how you can help.

3. Don’t feel guilty for taking care of yourself. Step back then rejoin when ready.

Dan Rather quoting @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social :

“...no alternative to persevering, and that does not require you to feel good. You can keep walking whether it’s sunny or raining. Take care of yourself and remember that taking care of something else is an important part ..."
