Thank you for this! There are so many points of this conversation I want to respond to, but the one that matters most to me is the bit about continuing to show up on the social web. Your voices and the voices of people like you are the light in the dark for those of us without likeminded people IRL. It's not only massively comforting and hope-giving to hear your thoughts, it also cuts through the fuzzying effects of gaslighting/strengthens my spirit. Thanks, again.

You are so right about defense. Any athlete can tell you that the best offense is a good defense.

Emily, I'm hoping for good news on your tests. Shannon, I'm taking my grandchild for their passport and driver's permit and we are in the same boat. This brave person finally changed everything in school and of course we all thought the election was going to turn out differently. We had so much joy. Anyway, we agreed to lay low, my concern is the school records and the people who work there. But, we will cross that bridge IF we get there. Thanks for everything.

Thank you for this, definitely needing to start a group in my own town of like minded women. This is giving me the push I need.

I’m not sure why there isn’t a mentor program at the DNC where the older politicians help and coach the younger generation. A good example of this is Nancy Pelosi who keeps AOC down all.the.time. She should be lifting her up.

I would love to see the women in my community empowered but in the bigger picture, stop making women invisible and their life decisions criminalized.
