She will remain in our memories and spirits regardless of what they try to pull.

This reminds me of clementine morrigan/(morgan's? Spelling) take on the recent social justice as exclusion spaces and using liberation actions and words as weapons instead of care. Thanks for sharing

Also, all the lowest rents are being consistently and not even quietly renovicted and then rerented at ASTRONOMICAL COSTS.

The last 5 years has been consistently bonkers, plus a big bump from the sheer # of people that moved here in 2019-2022. Are you looking for a roomate? I have friends looking too - it's hard

(Delete after if you want but mind your time. Don't spend all day on it. This is supposed to release pressure, not be a sea you swim in.)
While that timer is running, feel those feelings fully; when the timer goes off, wrap it up and move on.

2. Set a timer on your feelings. Set a timer and give yourself 5 or 10 minutes to freak out. Use this to scream, cry, cuss, call a friend and vent or unleash on BlueSky or some other safe space where venting won't summon an onslaught of fascist demons.

So here are some strategies to deal with the emotional abuse of their shock doctrine:
1. Give the news 3 days to settle out. Often the stuff we're hearing is not true. Also we forget that we've got fierce fighters on our side who were already ready to defend us.

We've got to give ourselves opportunities and time to feel our feelings without falling into their traps so we can be clearheaded, strategic and strong. We've also got to not get knocked off our feet by the firehose of bad news. We have to build skills and use them if we want to be strategic.

Thanks for these words.

When we suppress or shut off our emotions, those emotions keep building and come out in unhealthy ways. Suppressing our emotions suffocates our empathy, makes us sick and is not sustainable. We must adopt sustainable practices for emotional release during this sustained onslaught.

We have to say sane and clear eyed during this time in order to make good decisions and preserve our mental health. When we are swept away by our emotions, we tend to do things that are unstrategic, things we will regret and things that hurt us. Caring for our mental health is part of resisting.
