I’ve been wondering a lot which concrete steps I can take in the face of this full-scale attempt at US fascism — just first small steps, maybe, but •concrete• steps with an impact, not just getting informed and discussing and brooding.

I think this I’ve found that first step, and it’s nipping everything I described in the previous post in the bud. There’s a lot of people in my life I’m in a position to help or harm just with my words, with my affect — people who are themselves struggling.

They want us off balance. They want us unkind. I’m in a position — with work, yes, but in a position — to balance myself, to be kind.

That’s where I start. Saying it here as a commitment to myself.
