Nina Jankowicz shared this advice for another moment & yet it works so well in 2025:

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
