It’s amazing how ungrateful I’ve become.
There, I said it.
I used to be able to focus on something everyday that made my internal organs sing, but everything seems different now. And yes, say it with me, because you know it’s coming–It’s because of Trump.
Oh, I know I shouldn’t take it so personally, or be so upset, but when the fabric of all you’ve ever known and by the way, taken for granted, is in peril, well you give more than a few fucks.
BASIC. HUMAN. DECENCY. DIGNITY. TRUTH. JUSTICE. HEALTHCARE……
These people, lead by the head Disgustigan, is making these attributes history.
How do you stand by and move beyond?
No, really, I’m asking. I want to know how this president has affected your life and how you are getting up everyday and feeling hopeful. Enlighten me (this is not meant as snarky–I honestly want to know). Are you speaking in incomplete sentences? Using “great,” “hugely,” “classy,” and “terrific” all the time? Or are you up in the middle of the night with the scared emoji eyes? Let me know. Thanks!

I am also very agitated but what helps is doing activism. I never have previously, I do at least one thing a day. I recommend the app 5 Calls. They send you five things a day and they make it easy. And Brookline has many activism groups. It helps with the panicked ” I have to do something” feeling. Also, Flippable.org for ways you help in important special elections right now. Use your blog to get the word out!
Dale, Thank you for sharing! I appreciate this. I am doing the 5 Calls and have hooked up with the ACLU. #resist
