Today, we voted, and if tonight has your stomach i

Today, we voted, and if tonight has your stomach in knots, the one thing you won’t hear from us is to ‘calm down’.

A lot of the standard advice for political stress is designed to try to make the feelings smaller. That works for plenty of things, but a threat to the people and freedoms you care about isn't a feeling we think anyone should try to shrink.

That said, those feelings ARE information, and we can use that information to begin the next steps in building the future we want.

Radical acceptance is something we practice in our own home, and it's rarely comfortable. Our life of trying to build a farm and home has left us with more encounters of difficult emotions than we can count. What we keep learning, though, is that the feelings we stop trying to run from are the ones that end up telling us where to put our energy.

And listen, nobody is going to turn this country around on their own. We are all in this together—for the long haul, and with all the feelings. The research on collective efficacy is consistent on this: groups that believe in their shared ability to act persist longer and get more done than people going it alone. So whatever the numbers say tonight (or tomorrow, or the next day), the next question to ask yourself isn't only how you feel about it. It's also who you're going to build with.

We’re grateful to be on this journey and building the future with all of you. Please: Stay loud. Stay connected. And don’t ever stop making good trouble that pisses off bad people.

Well, July was certainly…a month. We were oh-so-happy to turn the calendar page today and put it behind us, but that said, we’re also reflecting on what the ‘big lesson’ of the past 31 days has been.

And, you know…it’s something of a bitter pill.

Seeing the ways that the people and institutions we should be able to trust are not worthy of that trust shatters something we *want* to believe in, but can’t anymore.

On the one hand, it feels like a door closed. But on the other, it feels like the beginning of something bigger and more meaningful. We’ll let you read the essay and see if you agree (the full, unedited, and sourced version can be found on our Substack—link in bio).

But bottom line, we want to say this today: this is the craziest, sickest, ugliest timeline most of us could have imagined, during a time when humanity has made so much progress yet still operates with this level of depravity.

What is getting us through right now is watching the people who won’t settle for that or look away. People like you, who keep showing up and fighting for what is good and right. People who refuse to stop making good trouble and pissing off bad people. You are giving us hope to hold onto.

Thank you for that. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for that.

P.S. We couldn’t really reflect on this past month without some thoughts on our local superstar, Jimothy. The full essay (on Substack) is where you’ll find it all!

We don't call "a guy". We become "the guy". 💪

Believe it or not, we didn't get into this life because we love hard work for its own sake. We got into it because we got tired of paying someone to know things we were fully capable of learning ourselves.

If you're also one of the people who fixes it themselves purely out of spite for the quote they got and a refusal to outsource their knowledge, you're our people.

This is not the 4th of July we wanted, but it is the one we have.

What we’ve been feeling lately can only be described as one thing: grief. And it’s terribly difficult to think about celebrating our country—even a country we love so much—while we also feel as though we are mourning the loss of it.

That’s exactly what we set out to explore in this piece, and we suspect we’re not the only ones dealing with this level of dissonance over the upcoming festivities. If you find it helpful, someone you care about might too—please pass it on. We need as many people as possible to keep believing in and fighting for what’s possible.

As always, the full essay—sourced and unedited for length—can be found on our Substack. Link in bio and always free.

Stay loud. Stay connected. And keep making good trouble that pisses off bad people.

Today was a lot. We’ve felt sick to our stomachs all day.

In 2023, a jury found the president liable of SA. In 2024, a federal jury found the president guilty of continued defamation against the victim. Today, the Supreme Court refused to take up an appeal of that SA verdict—confirming, once and for all, that our president is a r*pist.

That same court then handed him even more unchecked power over the systems designed to protect Americans. More power than any president has held in nearly a century.

We are allowed to feel the full weight of that.

We are also not allowed to stop there.

While we're all cycling through yet another round of shock and grief and fury, the architecture of control gets another story built on top of it.

They are counting on our exhaustion. Do not give it to them.

Stay loud. Stay connected. Make good trouble that pisses off bad people.
