Thank you, Van. What you say here is painful to hear, but true to my own experience, and therefore helpful. Keeping focused on what one can do every day to support and encourage others is essential, for one's own health but for those others' also. We're all in this together, even those at this moment trying their best to bring this dis-order to pass. It's not the reality I would have wished on anyone, but that doesn't alter our basic obligations while living, or trying to live, in it. (Just writing this thank-you makes me feel better and stronger!)

Thank you. I have so many writing responsibilities and need to write for my students who are being so brave right now, and I struggle with paralysis. Many people are angry but most do not realize the dystopian future we are facing. Few can imagine the hell of life in a failed state.
