Thank you, Ben- you cut through the noise and the tendency to self abuse on bad thoughts. Your posts have been a saving grace to me since January, and your sentiments here are more important than ever.

Loved this sentence: "Don't treat sunshine as a neutral forecast." So grateful for your presence, your leadership, and your beautiful writing.

Thank you for highlighting the power of training ourselves to focus on the good! I work in behavior and humans have a negativity bias (read more here: https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/negativity-bias) and focusing on the positive is a proven method for counteracting it! <3

Thank you so much Ben. Really necessary stuff to read.

I ordered this poster https://store.crimethinc.com/collections/posters/products/gender-self-determination-poster for my therapy office, expecting to receive only one, and they sent me a whole stack. so i hung one up in my living room and one in my therapy office and i've been giving them out to friends and clients. i basically recite this every morning like the goddamn pledge of allegiance. it's my pledge of allegiance for right now, in these times.

Thank you for all that you are doing.
