The Hit List - In times like these

In times like these, it’s hard to focus, much less know what to say. The invasion of Ukraine, climate change, voter suppression, attacks on trans rights and reproductive freedom, and so much more. It’s like the world is going backward at warp speed.

So many of us feel helpless. After all, it’s not always possible to be on the front lines of every battle. But even so, there are things you can do.

:: Share information about the causes that matter (psst…they all matter).

:: Donate where you can. Even small amounts add up.

:: Call your representatives and make noise. Let them know how you feel.

:: Prayer, ritual, magick. Summon all the good energy you can.

Get involved where you can in whatever way makes sense for you.

But also:

If this is too much, if you start to crash and burn, it’s okay to press pause. You don’t have to comment on everything nor do you have to fight every single battle. Rest up and care for yourself as much as you can. Then do what you can. With as many hands on deck as possible helping out, we can make a difference!
