Please add your name to this important fight for academic freedom.”

6. An important reminder from Brave Girls Club, “So much pain comes from resisting what IS, from resisting things that are out of your control and can never be changed. So much joy comes from accepting what IS and only changing your response to things. Sit with your feelings, whatever they are. Say YES to them. Sit with your dreams and say yes to those, too. Accept what IS in this moment, rather than resisting it, avoiding it, or resenting it. So many times, whatever IT is just wants to be acknowledged, and then once you sit with it, it will evolve into something beautiful and valuable. Say YES to life in this moment.”

Never Stop Yelling At Ivanka Trump. “If Trump’s most vocal opponents allow the debate to be shifted to civility, to proper airline etiquette, then they have absolutely zero chance of winning any of the many actual battles to come.” This is a very important distinction to remember: there are those who will try to attack your “niceness” and your “goodness” as a way of getting you to shut up, give up, stop fighting, and we cannot stop giving voice to what is wrong, can’t allow it to be normalized.

Now is a time for fury and force—a time for guarding the few things we do have (our perseverance, our bodies, each other) because they’re so at risk and so, so precious.”
