I saw a cool Taiko drumming performance, so I've got that going for me, which is nice

Does my answer matter? No, but you asked.

My identity doesn’t intersect with a single disparaged people group. Every day the past two weeks I have swung between feeling depressed about the state of the world and about how my friends and family members are living in a country that wants them to either not exist or get pregnant twice every twelve months, and feeling like it’s somehow possible for me to ignore all of the destruction the new administration has already caused. I don’t imagine myself living past 50 with all the stress from these insane unjustifiable mood swings that I’m anticipating over the next 4 years (at least :( )
