As someone who works for an LGBTQ+ org bag dealt with Trump 1, I am already exhausted for the fight ahead. Trying to put a brave face on for my team, while acknowledging the hardship, but oh it's going to be such a struggle and a mind-f%$k

Thank you for your words, as always.

I had to teach my women's writing circle this morning, and I thought, how am I going to do that? What am I going to say? It turns out Brian Doyle and Jane Goodall stepped in with words to help, and I was so grateful to spend two hours in a safe space with amazing women writers. I also walked with dear friends, ate a chocolate caramel brownie and latte for breakfast and, after teaching, went to a local bookstore and bought books, then headed for dinner fixings and wine. The only things I think will help me today are spending time with brilliant women, reading brilliant words, and maybe a jigsaw puzzle. And then, tomorrow, maybe, I'll figure out what to do next.
