Post-Election Thoughts

I have a lot of them, but here are the most important ones for me right now:

• We are going to have to lean on each other and our communities as much as possible. Do what you can, ask for what you need. We must take care of each other.

• Our education system has failed us. I don’t know how to fix it, but I know that literacy rates for adults are low. I know that not everyone has the same access to information. Critical thinking is so important, and yet so many people seem to lack this skill.

• I am struggling with my natural ability to have empathy for individuals and the collective, while also being very angry and sad.

• My door is always open.

• If you are at a place to listen, please remember to do so not to respond, but to understand.

• Last Week with John Oliver tonight is one hell of a show if you have access to it via max or some other way.

• I love you.
