Navigating our lives now
This is not an election post-mortem, but it is a love letter
Darlings,
I have been very quiet, tending to that which has needed tending to. If you’re not ok, that is ok. If you don’t feel strong, know that you don’t have to lift anything quite yet. If you are on fire with a rage that burns hotter than the heat of 1000 suns, that is perfectly fine — I’m getting there myself.
There is no right way to feel, to respond, to react. The only wrong way is what we’ve seen from MAGA trolls threatening violence. That shit needs to be shut down the moment it’s encountered, reported on social media sites, or to the FBI. If you have seen any of it or been personally threatened, make sure to take screen shots, block them, and report to both the platform and appropriate authorities.
But back to tending to our raw feelings, still exposed like live wires. I stayed quiet, in part, because I felt responsible for saying something but didn’t feel I had anything to offer. I was numb and not in my body for days. But yesterday I made this video and shared it with my Instagram followers, so I’m offering it to you here as well.
Also, if you missed it - the sign-by-sign horoscopes for paid subscribers have been posted. I’m a mess, you’re a mess, we’re all a mess, but it’s all very, very ok.
All the love from my messy and vulnerable heart,
Stefanie
