I’m disappointed in the U.S. election results this week, but I’m not totally surprised that Republicans won the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives. So many people vote from a place of fear and hate. Republican campaigns lean into that, and here we are. (It’s more complicated than this, I know. But you can read political analysis elsewhere.)

People who want to take care of each other will lean into building community. I’ll continue to look for ways to participate in community, online and offline. I’ll continue to support spaces that are safe and inclusive. I’ll continue to learn how to best show up for communities I’m part of.
