Ok my girls let’s have a little pep talk, just you and me: I know. I know how it feels. But don’t go numb. Don’t look away. Take social media breaks, absolutely, but then get right back to it. Let it crack your heart open. Let the tears come. Let it hurt so bad you have to do something, anything. When I say “empathy is a superpower,” this is the heart of what I mean. Empathy is what saved us hundreds of times in history, and it will again. (And for anyone who wants to tell me to “just be positive,” or “stay out of politics,” or “stick to what you do,” know that this is a political account and what I do is inherently political. We cannot optimize our health or live our dream lives when we are worried about getting kidnapped or killed, or if we do not have freedom of speech. Politics has always been about wellbeing and human rights—some of us were just privileged to not have to realize that. We are only as well as the most vulnerable in our communities.) I’m here with you, I am sending you love. 🖤🖤🖤 (Thank you so much to the incredible creators making these profound and powerful posts—our digital picket line!) #minnesota
