Thank you! Yes! Comprehend what’s going on, but find people and activities that bring you delight. As the saying goes, Don’t let the bastards bring you down.

Thank you for this! I think this movie is coming to our local theater. I will seek it out. And I should read more by and about Audre Lorde. (Trivia: She went to my high school and college, though probably about 35 years before me.)

Great article! Depression runs in my family but I view myself as the fortunate one, as my bouts of what I call The Blues have never been all consuming as they have been for others in my clan. That being said the election of The Soulless One left me in a particularly prolonged funk. I still have moments of wanting to scream for 10 minutes straight but throwing myself into my artwork, hiking and time with family and friends keep my demons at bay. We cannot, me must not let them steal our joy. Our humanity is our superpower and is necessary to win.
