Yeah this is one big ramble. I needed to post something, I didn’t try to be totally cohesive and of course I want to be considerate of everyone suffering right now. Let me know if there’s something I can edit.I’m happy for the calming tactics, I’m happy for those tv shows, buzzfeed lists, songs, etc that are a slight distraction. And they did work. But I also felt better signing up for email lists and staying tuned.Here is great article about allowing yourself to grieve, though. I don’t want to downplay the need for that. If you cant donate, please sign up for emails from organizations protecting your rights. Here are places to start. Many of them have petitions you can sign that will go directly to the White house.Artists using the hashtag #drawdrive are offering art for a donation to those places. Search the hashtag on twitter.Upworthy’s new list of things you can doSome messages from activists to help you.Just found this Extensive Doc about what you can do to protect yourself/help othersHere is my list of things that I use for Anxiety though, if you’d like it:1) Mozart In the Jungle on Amazon Prime (a drama but nothing jarring or upsetting about it) also curb your enthusiasm2) Vulfpeck’s “Smile Meditation”3) The Good Place, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Broad City on Hulu4) Again, the Lizzie McGuire movie on Netflix5) FRASIER on Netlfix, also the Nightman Cometh episode of always sunny specifically6) Getting into a webcomic, check out some on Tapastic or may I suggest starting Strong Female Protagonist (there’s a lot to read, it will take up some time)or Witchy 7) Those Buzzfeed lists that say “Betcha cant get through this post without spending 50 bucks” yadda yadda yeah they work8) Every Frame a Painting, Nerdwriter and Vox informational videos on Youtube (focus on art-based ones).
