About

The recent election in the USA has seemingly shown women, people of colour, and members of the LGBTQ+ that more people are anti-basic human rights for all than we ever thought possible.
If you went into a depressive spiral in November, you're not alone. Share your grief, your rage, your feelings of helplessness with us.
