@chiyoshi15 Non-dance goals help with self image and perspective, something post-semester helps you remember that all things pass and improve, and normal humans dancing reminds you that dance is ultimately about connection and enjoyment
@chiyoshi15 Hi, this was me my junior year!! Things that helped: setting challenging goals unrelated to dance that made me feel strong and kept me accountable, planning something intricate/vacationy for after the semester ended, and finding a way to dance with non-dancers!!
“I’ve blacked a lot of it out. But I do remember that recess was a nightmare for me. My mom told me later that she would sometimes hide in the bushes, and when she saw me sitting by myself, she’d start crying..."
Republicans are freaking out bc we don’t use slave-wage labor for merch that funds grassroots organizing.
But what’s the difference between Trump’s merch and ours?
Ours is made in the US. 🇺🇸
(& for GOP who joke that we shld give 👕 for free, we actually do - just volunteer 😉)
If you want to know why COVID relief is tied up in Congress, one key reason is that Republicans are demanding legal immunity for corporations so they can expose their workers to COVID without repercussions.
Dems don’t want you to die for a check. That’s what we’re fighting over.
People across the country are going hungry, COVID is set to explode, and Mitch McConnell dismissed the Senate last week.
I don’t know how these people can sleep at night. I really don’t.
Today's news of a second vaccine is further reason to feel hopeful. What was true with the first vaccine remains true with the second: we are still months away. Until then, Americans need to continue to practice social-distancing and mask-wearing to get the virus under control.
Can we please get people stimulus checks and mortgage relief and rent forgiveness and small business support and free testing and hazard pay and healthcare for the uninsured (& underinsured) in the middle of a pandemic or is that too socialist too?
Van, thank you for expressing the sorrow and relief that we all feel. My hope is that those who hoped for a different outcome will take a moment to empathize with the pain so many of us have felt over the past four years.
