I have been hearing from a lot of people that they feel stuck, frozen or ill-equipped to take action right now, and I wanted to address those feelings. Much love to Aaron Goggans, @shaneburley.bsky.social and @deanspade.bsky.social for sharing their thoughts for this piece.

We just moved today and our new place is so much nicer. We have a lot of unpacking left to do but I already feel more at home here.
