Natasha, this is the best piece of your writing I've read. Brava.

Adore the art, too. More! Encore!

You're spot on. Your witnessing and your voice ARE the point. They are what result in true revelation and rebirth, no matter the rubble.

Thank you for sharing this great refreshing, Taurean blast of wisdom.

Great piece. Was trying to say some of this yesterday- but it’s hard to get through the addicting rage that some cling to.

It’s does feel addicting. The endless recycling of an emotion, staying place in fear 😧

Great piece; thank you. Stepping out of victimhood and into agency is exactly what we need to do in the UK. My impression is that, here, only a tiny minority understand that. There's much wailing about "why the government doesn't understand" etc. My only hope is that as things get clearer and clearer, people the realisation will be fast.

thankyou. was inspired by a visit from a friend who is so triggered right now by trump. the outrage was hard on her. she stopped thinking about her agency.

My reaction and the discussions we had were not my only truth. I just don’t see how a government ran by oligarchs, for oligarchs, can bring about change that has any compassion whatsoever for Musk’s so called “parasite class”, a class which I (as many) was born into through no fault of my own. Humanity is a crossroads and I feel quite justified in being “triggered” by those who roll women’s rights back and remove limits on medicine costs and sell our national parks to the highest bidder etc etc etc ad nauseum.

i completely agree. I certainly dont expect the current authority to bring about dignified change.I would hope that my words inspire to help us, each one of us bring about change that supports human and non human dignity. I cant tell you how. but i will support your efforts. I have a lot of understanding about why and how you’re triggered. I know how you feel. Ive been there. Ive felt the outrage at a world gone mad. Hopefully this time people will work together rather than dismiss and ridicule each other.
