Thread. I want to give voice to those of us who are sad, depressed even, feeling hopeless right now. Many of us are fearful for the future. Some, terrified. The effect of the "acquittal", even tho expected, is difficult. /1
3 pieces of advice: 1) give space to your feelings, as they are real. Sit in the sadness (it will not last forever). Write or talk about it. Be with what is for as long as you need to. 2) commit to some kind of action that matches your values. For ex: /2
-- volunteer for a campaign, work with a local refugee group, write postcards to voters, donate money...Action is the antidote for despair. 3) take a break from media or news for a bit. Take a walk. Play with a child or animal. Listen to music. Fill yourself up with the good. /3
Remember that we are in this together. There are more of us who want justice than not. I wrote this piece the other day, out of my determination to keep going on despite my own sadness. /❤️END ravjill.com/what-to-do-whe…
