@mattwebbdev@veganism.social @marymessall@mendeddrum.org It's funny: I think a lot of people *should* be angry, and we need people to be angry (and to show up at the polls, etc.)... buuuuttt... being *constantly* angry and alarmed, for years, will wear out a person's body and mind, and anger alone will make them miserable the entire time it is happening.
I'm still trying to figure out how I can be a good fellow person, including to those most at risk right now, and also save my own skin, without unsustainable stress.

@neilvandyke@mastodon.online @marymessall@mendeddrum.org Start local. Food bank or clothes donations are always needed. I used to stress about this too, fearing I wasn't doing the right thing in the moment... but then I had to get my guilt in check. I can only do what I can do. If I help one person through kindness, or an act of support when they needed something I can part ways with... well, that's a win.
