I know things are bleak and scary right now. But I promise you that you - yes YOU - can get through this. You don't have to fight all of this on your own. Find one person you can help, and help them. Make the life of one person better every day. Hold onto your joy. That's how we win.

A good thing to do if you are flailing a bit right now (as who is not??) is to get in touch with your own values, the things that you find life affirming and necessary in the world. Read some inspiring works about things you value - labor solidarity, scientific achievement, social justice.

Wish I started earlier as an actor but then it would’ve been during a time where they were even less open to seeing Asians but now I feel like I’ve missed the boat and also guilty for even thinking about this in the state of the country as it is

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are trying to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

In these dark times, look to history for beacons of hope. We have fought corruption, racism, discrimination, censorship, and hate before. It feels as though that progress is being undone. But that progress was made. And can be made again. www.history.com/topics/black...

As a freelancer, my morning routine consists of laying in bed for 3 hours doomscrolling until the anxiety and self-loathing finally force me to get up and try to catch up on the work I should’ve been doing, all while cursing myself for wasting that time. Some days I drink water too 🥰

I know everyone loves this article right now and people absolutely should get off the internet and into the streets, if they can. But ALSO writing about and documenting fascism in an accessible way is vital work that is materially different from BlueAnon doombait.

If you love AI so much why don’t you let it enslave humanity and use us as batteries while we live in a simulated version of the world in 1999 while being fed nutrients of our recycled brethren already then huh?

Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

This was so helpful. It made me feel hopeful and empowered. Key points: - DON’T COMPLY IN ADVANCE, that includes emotionally too. Take a breath and refocus - Take action however you can, even if that’s just educating yourself - Call your senators and put pressure on, doesn’t matter what party
