We’re all safe here. The storms were scary and the tornado got close, but the house is standing, no damage, and we’re all ok.

Remember:

It can be sad. It can be tragic. It can be disgusting and depressing and discouraging.

But it doesn’t have to mean this is who we are now. It’s what our country is doing right now and that’s not the same as who we are.

Who we are isn’t up to him.

Hence the starfish tattooed on my inner arm. Hope is not gone, as long as we continue to look for all the little ways we can make a difference.
I understand the starfish parable is extremely cringe and maybe someone can write it better but unfortunately this mindset is the only one that can keep you from losing hope if you care in a system where you can't make a difference on the large scale, you have to believe helping one person matters

“Hope doesn’t preclude feeling sadness or frustration or anger or any other emotion that makes total sense. Hope isn’t an emotion, you know? Hope is not optimism. Hope is a discipline… we have to practice it every single day.”

Friends, you don't have to watch the inauguration tomorrow.

Your dread and disgust will do nothing to make things better. Be with those you love, and do things you love.

Guard your peace.
There is work to do later on.

And remember, cynicism is surrender. Hope is a protest.
