I was crying in the car this morning thinking of all the immigrants whose lives are being upended right now, and my trans friends who are terrified, and how there’s not a damn thing to do about it, and how there are people out there who think I’m pouting because my team didn’t win. This is not a sporting event. Your “team” is literally putting violent insurrectionists on the streets and declaring war on anyone who is in any way vulnerable, including by the way ME AND MY FAMILY. Slightly higher stakes than the iron bowl. I think of them as being in a trance.
Anyway. Yes. The kindest thing we can do for the world is work through our stuff.
I know. It’s such a strange mindwarp to feel unable to understand the other side at all. Like this is not about economic policies or some other technicalities of how the country should be run. This is total disregard of the humanity of others and it is heartbreaking and scary.
So very true.

Yeah, none of this about taking sides or winning when you’re talking about real human beings.

Holy moly cow. This hit me hard. I love this.
“You want to change the world? Do your own work. Honor your brokenness. Go toward what hurts. Build real connection…”.
This rules. Thank you.
Good grief, I love this. It goes so hard.
