These are the things I have been thinking about recently. Take what you need, share what you can. Living #MilitantKindness for #SelfAndOthers without turning into the flames of #Caregiver #Burnout

This is Larry. He went to a hearing in Wisconsin to voice his support for an anti-trans bill. In the 8 hours he waited, he listened to trans voices and allies speak. When his turn came, he not only changed his mind- he apologized. It's never too late to be a better person.
Find your people! They are out there doing what you want to do. Community and unity will get us through, just like it's meant to.

Just do whatever you can. Then, rest. Rest is important! Burnout =/= resistance

Melorism (noun) The belief that we can contribute to positive change and improve the world through acts of love, creativity, compassion, and kindness.
Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly now. Love mercy now. Walk humbly now. You are not obligated to complete the work but neither are you free to abandon it. - Pirkei Avos
As you go into your next week/day/moment/breath...remember that you're here now. Both in the physical and temporal sense. What we have is now. Do not fall for potential. Achievement is what you are doing right now that aligns with your vision. #MilitantKindness #SelfAndOthers #RestIsRevolution
Hey, I love you! Quit doom scrolling. Did you take meds? Wanna get a warm drink? Taken a deep breath in the last few minutes? Wanna get a more comfortable position? Relax your eyes & shoulders. Drink some water. Find sun.

Take a pic without moving your phone.

Action is the antidote of anxiety. So if you want to do SOMETHING but you're not sure what, start here.
Don't do it alone! Find your area #MutualAid and offer what you can or see who needs what you have. If you are interested, someone else is too!

Instructions on Living in a Broken World Lean into community Seek out love Applaud the good you see Keep paying attention Talk to your neighbors Dance to the music and embrace art Look for love and small joys Take breaks and relish in nourishing your body Donate what you can Linger at the dinner table with your friends Check in with your people Let yourself grieve Love one another as deeply as you can The storm is upon us and we must hold on Don't give up Still we rise
Each moment is undefined. But as we make our meaning in the world individually, please know that this stranger on the internet is cheering for you.
