Feeling like I want to fly low and stay under the radar. Stay in bed with my head under the covers. Not spend any money and save as much as possible.
But that's exactly what I can't do. I know there's too much work to be done now. Helping people who need it. Fighting for trans rights and women's reproductive health. Fighting to keep the rights we have won. Propaganda protest art. Protesting. Kicking the Democratic party into fixing itself, or starting a new centrist independent party. Electing non-Republicans at the local level. Running for local office.
It's overwhelming, the amount of work there is to do now. And I'm old, or getting there - we'll have to depend on Gen-Z for a lot of this. We'll have to support them as best we can. It's their world now. But it's still my world too, and I'm responsible for doing my part.
But just for today, I'm staying in bed. And tomorrow I have to get up and do something.
