I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

RFK Jr. wants evidence that vaccines do not cause autism.

"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived, and lived well."

The point is for you to be scared.

The point is for you to be too exhausted and inundated to take true action.

The point is for you to feel defeated.

The point is for you to feel isolated.

Don’t believe the point.

Take a deep breath.

Focus on community, on tangible actions.

Bernie stayed seated. I love him. Thank you Bernie!

Idiots are so exhausting

Well intended clueless person: “you and Sean should really have a vacation, just the two of you.”
Me: “I drive T.J. to work every day and he can’t stay here alone.”
Her: “Ari can take care of him.”
Me: “no, that’s not her job. In any way.”
Her: “you should just have her do it.”
