The idea that these are the top stories when the Supreme Court blew up the constitution yesterday makes me want to scream and cry forever.

I share that quote a lot because it helps me. Things seem overwhelming, I feel like there's nothing I can do, the problem's too big. That leads to despair and paralysis.

You can look at a burnt down house and say it's pointless and everything is terrible and give up. Or you start gathering stones and bricks and tools. And yeah, sometimes you can do both. I will always turn to the Arthur Ashe quote for help: Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can.
