Really love this. Absolutely terrifying what’s happening atm, not only the election results but the increase in young males radical beliefs. You’re right in that your advice applies to every area of life. Find those people, support that community, and change will come (it has to!). Thanks for sharing πŸ’•

Having to explain the outcome of this election to my kids gutted me in a way 2016 me couldn’t have even fathomed. Knowing so many fellow white women didn’t bat an eye at the thought of explaining to their kids that they voted for a literal monster has boggled my mind beyond comprehension.

It’s heartbreaking. And now we have to look at him for another four years?! I’m sick to my stomach.

Erin- I appreciate your attitude. I, honestly, read your Substack for the distraction it provides against the anxiety of the day. But I want to thank you for sharing your positivity and reality here and now. It's been a very tough week, and as you say, it's only beginning. We have to stay strong and keep our communities. Keep writing.
