The article reflects on a weekend of beautiful weather contrasted with the alarming news of a shift towards authoritarianism. The author expresses a sense of despair regarding ongoing protests that seem ineffective against the tide of governmental oppression. However, the piece also makes an effort to find personal solace in small joys, like wearing a t-shirt for the first time in months. The message underscores the importance of living in the moment, supporting friends, and balancing activism with personal well-being, rather than succumbing to anxiety and doom scrolling.
This weekend, the sun was out and the flowers were in bloom and our government officially announced to the word that we're headed towards authoritarianism.
Maybe we just do what we can where we can, and hug our friends in the meantime.
