What will we do with the rest of 2020?

I gotta say, this year is wild isn't it?  And mostly, truly not in good ways.

The world sure feels like a shit show in a burning garbage can, eh?

People are fighting hard - on the right side and the wrong side of important issues.

We are in a dark place.

I am trying to stay informed while also staying positive, which has become impossible for me.  There is so much craziness to read about, spiking my anxiety and sending me spiraling, but I can't look away from the literal train wreak that is happening out there.



What do we do with the rest of 2020? 

Wear your dang mask.

Wash your dang hands.

Practice social distancing.

Understand that doing these things keep you, your loved ones and people you don't know safe. 

Understand that keeping people you don't know safe is important too.

Support your local businesses.

Understand that Black Lives Matter.

Understand that BIPOC Lives Matter.

Understand that Trans Lives Matter.

Understand that saying these lives matter, pushing their lives mattering to the forefront does not mean anyone else's life matters less, and get your head out of your ass.

Be an ally against racism, systemic racism and discrimination.  Caring is cool.

Read.

Speak up.

Support.

Drink your water, eat your fruits and veggies.

Get some sleep.

Be kind.
