Would it be better to just leave and keep my family safe? Or do we stay and fight back?

This week’s episode of Get It Together, Weirdo is not your usual episode about keeping your shit together because the recent US election results have left her really struggling to keep her shit together right now. And she bets you are too.

After expressing her deep concerns and fears about the future, particularly around her children's safety and education, Sarah shares her idea of starting a book club focused on banned literature as a space for listeners to grow together while fueling their energy and resistance. She concludes with a call to action.

If you are struggling in the wake of the US election, you won’t want to miss this emotional episode.

What you’ll learn in this episode

• That if you voted for fascism and hate, Get It Together, Weirdo is not the podcast for you.
• That Get It Together, Weirdo and Sarah’s coworking community are spaces where anyone who is reeling from the election result is accepted and can feel safe.
• That community and education, and balancing peace and love with anger and resistance are key as we go into the unknown.

Noteworthy quotes from this episode
“If you voted for fascism and Nazis, if you voted for a convicted felon, a rapist, a misogynist, someone who you know threatens those who don't agree with him with violence and death and are someone who thinks 50 cents off a dozen eggs is more important than the human rights of so many people, this isn't the podcast for you. Please unsubscribe.”

“The stress, anxiety, and fear I am feeling around what my daughter will experience at school as a girl is beyond fear that I have ever felt. And the stress, anxiety, and fear I have around what my son will experience ― my little four-year-old goofball who loves to paint his nails pink and wear dresses and tutus ― is right there on that same level.”
“Would it be better to just leave and keep my family safe? Or do we stay and fight back?”
“Hatred should never win. And in this case, it did.”
“‘I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo. ‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
