Did you all notice that moment when our President attempted to declare war via twitter earlier?
And like: not for the first time?
A lot of very bright people are quick to point out that Trump is emblematic of structural and political toxicity that’s existed for ages before he ever congealed his way into the white house. I personally veer toward that perspective myself.
Here’s the deal though: something is happening in this country where even politically avoidant people are feeling the shards of this in the lived definitions of their day to day lives.
So here’s what I want to say:
Whatever it is in your world that gives you deep joy, whatever it is that tethers you to the universe, and whatever it is that structures your life towards something unfailingly outside your own self….
Hold on to that tightly.
Because those anchors are the ones we need now, more than ever.
