I don't know if I have it in me to disassociate from the realities of our circumstances. These American circumstances.

Frankly y’all, I'm about to crash out.

Online, the call to action is avoid panic and I can't. There are also other calls to action, of course. Today’s Economic Boycott (are you in? I’m in). There’s 5calls.org to call your senators because we do need to stay on their necks to fight these bills, EOs, Trump and Elon. And surely there’s more but that aside, I am panicking. I'm scared. Everything looks really bad right now and it's getting worse by the hour.
