If you’re feeling hope, share that as widely as you can. If you’re feeling despair, treat it like the flu: try not to spread it, treat the symptoms, and work to recover. Neither hope nor despair is an objective fact, but despair saps your energy to bring about change. Treat it, don’t feed it.
Buy tickets for yourself (and a friend?) and attend a local entertainment event, especially if it’s a benefit for a cause you value! Joy is resistance, and artists lead the path to change.
Choose venues and artists who live in your region, and spend what you can to bolster the local resistance community.
Reach out to someone you’re overdue to touch in with. Make amends over something that feels impossible, without expectation. Tell someone how much they mean to you. Take a social risk. Build bonds.
