"This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.”
~ Toni Morrison

Time to pray, laugh, hug and carry on. We're going to the April 29th People's March for Jobs, Justice and the Climate, but also hope to do the April 22nd SF March for Science.

So confounding: what is useful? Support Jane Goodall, NRDC, Jared Huffman not doing badly, I still like Bernie (though others are calling him - a DEMOCRAT like its a very bad word). Sigh. Create enough joy to balance the weird, scary sadness.
