A lot of you probably saw these words from Rebecca Solnit today, but in case you didn't, maybe you can take some inspiration from them.
“They want you to feel powerless and to surrender and to let them trample everything and you are not going to let them. You are not giving up, and neither am I. The fact that we cannot save everything does not mean we cannot save anything and everything we can save is worth saving. You may need to grieve or scream or take time off, but you have a role no matter what, and right now good friends and good principles are worth gathering in. Remember what you love. Remember what loves you. Remember in this tide of hate what love is. The pain you feel is because of what you love. The Wobblies used to say don't mourn, organize, but you can do both at once and you don't have to organize right away in this moment of furious mourning. You can be heartbroken or furious or both at once; you can scream in your car or on a cliff; you can also get up tomorrow and water the flowerpots and call someone who's upset and check your equipment for going onward. A lot of us are going to come under direct attack, and a lot of us are going to resist by building solidarity and sanctuary. Gather up your resources, the metaphysical ones that are heart and soul and care, as well as the practical ones. People kept the faith in the dictatorships of South America in the 1970s and 1980s, in the East Bloc countries and the USSR, women are protesting right now in Iran and people there are writing poetry. There is 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 of taking care of yourself, because you are interwoven with the ten trillion things in this single garment of destiny that has been stained and torn, but is still being woven and mended and washed.”

Panel from THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK reading "I'll tell you what I've learned in all my years above ground, my girl...you don't have to vanquish your enemies. All you have to do is outlast them. Live. One day at a time, one hour at a time, until you discover you're still standing and they have fallen away."

In true American fashion I can’t afford to be emotional, I have to work and pretend it’ll be okay when it is certainly not. I’m hoping my art brings others a tiny bit of light in spite of what the next four years will bring. 🫂

strongly encourage people to find something mindless to do over the next few days. i'm watching THE SAINT for the podcast and the fact that this movie is terrible is actually a bit of a salve

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore."

I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT.

We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

it does feel like too many people are ready to admit defeat, in the long term political sense, and that is so disappointing to see
