The Council Members that were out on the streets every single day during the Surge put their bodies and mental health on the line. I’m glad Aurin is talking about this, and I hope all of our precious council members are taking care of themselves now.

I love you all but you are incredibly (understandably) reactive. It’s making you SO easily manipulated by rage baiters. When you see something without context, a headline or a snippet of a quote, take a deep breath and look into it to see if you really should be upset. Please protect your hearts.
