    Episode 12 | Even the most feral of us need a break

    This week Fiona is taking a break from the heavy and disheartening news cycle to send an encouraging note out into the world. Please, do what you can to get connected locally. Our communities are what will get us through this horrendous piece of the wrong timeline, and they'll be what help get us out of this, mess, too. So please, find your people. Reach out to your neighbors. Share more hellos, and how are yous. Do your little piece to connect with people and make the world a little softer when it is trying so hard to be cruel. Love really will come out on top, we just have to keep radiating it. Activating through it. And staying grounded in it, no matter how ragefilled we may get. Sending love to all of our feral fam and friends' big BIG hearts. We see you. Take a break. The news will still be horrible and here next week. For now rest easy and know you're loved. And you're doing something to move the world forward just by being kind yourself. 💞(But also, if you do have any $ you can spare right now, Planned Parenthood needs us now more than ever before. ) 💞
