I've been in health equity research in one way or another my entire adult life (~15 years). More than half the people in my my social and professional circles are clinicians, academics, and federal employees. It's almost impossible not to feel like I'm staring into an abyss of doom, as I am looking to go on the job market when I finish my doctoral degree (hopefully) this summer. Last night, I just made the decision to not emotionally react (which is different from respond) to any ONE thing in the news, so that I can focus on the one thing that matters: be strong to be of service. There is real work to be done. The challenge is enormous. It always has been. Having a healthy distance from one's negative feelings is a part of the work.
Things are really bad and will get much worse for a lot of people. But the fact that we are not alone is worth something.
Sending strength to you. I am a nonprofit consultant/grant writer, and global health, public health, HIV, and LGBTQ rights are some of my specialties. It’s been quite a week for my clients & friends.
Glad you are out there fighting the good fight along with so many others.

Thank you for the Radio Paradise suggestion! I am so sick of Spotify suggesting the same stuff over & over. This made my week!
