The only thing that helps me restore a sense of sanity is my work within my neighborhood on traffic calming efforts, and my work with other like-minded people on civic issues in my city. It's a reminder that we can all make a difference in the civic commons at the local level, which reduces my sense of helplessness as I watch my state and federal governments go crazy.
Community bike rides help, too -- physical activity helps me quiet the Trump administration-inspired ya-yas.
(And yes -- this horrible heat dome is affecting my interest and ability in pursuing outdoor activities like walking and biking -- grrrr.)
