Last week we celebrated Thanksgiving Day here in the U.S. Supposedly. Thanksgiving? Well … not so much anymore.
While I am personally still safe and outwardly ‘comfortable’ — for now — my baseline mental and emotional health seem to be … slipping. Fast. As is my thankfulness.
I am extremely fearful about what 2024 will bring in the U.S. — with all of Trump’s looming trials, his constant goading incitement, our upcoming election tumult, intensifying climate disasters, and spreading far-right denialism and violence — and overall, I find very little to be thankful or joyous about.
