This story and so many others, from Ukraine to Antisemitism, from anti-LGBTQ and anti-abortion laws to voting rights discrimination, from White Supremacy to the GOP disregard of all of the above, tear my heart out nightly. But since I cannot on my own do anything about them, except vote, I must steel myself for the nightly news. I need to step back a little so as not to break with the weight of all this horror and evil. I wish I had the heart of a Toni Morrison.
Wish we had a wise person, a heroic figure to look to in these troubled times…other than Zelenskyy, unfortunately we don’t. Looks like we need to lift ourselves up and encourage each other.
I was wiped out hearing about Andre Mackniel murdered while buying a birthday cake for his 3 year old son. Let’s hope for some heartwarming unexpected miracles this week!

I know it's just one of many tragedies this year, this week, this era, but the details are crushing.
Yes. For some reason, Buffalo was extra shattering. Thanks for helping make sense of it.
