I know folks are in panic mode, but please pace yourselves. This has been coming for years - they laid the foundation in the 70s, it’s been coming in earnest since 2016, and we’ve been on a speed run since 2020. Rest. Fortify yourself. Love your people. We’ll fight again tomorrow ❤️

This was on the board in one of my classes on Thursday, 11/07. I told my students I wasn't at a place to manage a class conversation about the election, but if they needed to talk, we could outside of class. I hope something positive comes out of these days.

Why are we made to feel so much and so deeply? Why doesn't this mellow down as we age? It's really hard some days. I wish I could use these moments to write but I’m not that practical.
