While people in power are doing wrong by so many others (and apparently getting away with it), what’s the right thing to do?
Protest? Boycott? Leave the USA? Stay and fight?
Hide from the news? Keep track of the news? Be hyper vigilant? Distract oneself with work and play?
Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die? Seriously defend the rights of ourselves and future generations?
Be optimistic and hopeful? Pessimistically prepare for the worst?
Stay in the moment? Learn from the past? Focus on the future?
Follow one’s feelings? Try to be logical? Avoid despair? Smile though your heart is breaking?
Focus on self care? Take care of everybody else?

You always do the right thing, my friend.

The right thing to do was to remind me of that, Mark.
Maybe one of the right things to do is to see if Michael Sandel’s Harvard lectures are still available online. I watched them a few years ago – a class on ethics? I disremember. But it was interesting to see him interact with an auditorium of students.
I saw those on YouTube when I was looking for this day’s video, Barbara.
Im trying to help people I know and care about feel supported. I have trans friends who are very afraid right now. I keep reminding them I stand with them. I hope it helps.
I stand with them and with you, Chris.
