    Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

    We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive
