I made this earlier today feeling frustrated and yes, somewhat hopeless. I won’t pretend to have the answer, but I KNOW this is not normal.
I feel lucky to have art to lean into when there's something I need to work through.
My husband is an immigrant from Chile. Who just got his citizen last April knowing it was now consequential if he didn't. I see the hatred, the fear, the bullying (of even small children) and it makes me wonder why we are pretending this is normal.
We can still correct the course. Midterms can't get here fast enough. In the meantime, I'm going find ways to be a little kinder in my everyday interactions.
We're all going through a lot! Especially those without privilege or power.
