It’s all too much.
- War in Ukraine is the latest horror story. All we can do is stand back and watch as the Russian army tyrannizes a civilian population.
- The pandemic is not over, although there is a lot of noise from dangerously ignorant people that it is.
-
Climate change is still creeping inevitably over the world, and no one is doing anything significant about it.
-
You know what else no one is doing anything about? Economic inequity. Billionaires got even richer during the pandemic.
-
Our country is torn apart by racism, and it’s getting worse. It’s flaring up at all levels of society.

-

-

How are you all coping?
