A sadness thread. Appropriate for right now. Drop all of your sadness here and let's hug one another today.

I don't know about everyone else, but the news of Robert Redford just gut punched me this morning. Just one more thing to add to a world in turmoil and despair.

All the Charlie Kirk stuff, the Black student found hanged, Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, America!!! So much more that we could all list here. So much loss. So much sadness. So much of a threat of what's to come.

Just for today, please, drop your sadness in this thread. Lighten your load a small bit by letting it out. Let it go. Just for a moment, at least. Take a breath. We all need it.

Ginormous hugs to everyone here. You remind me that there are people like me left in the world, and that I'm not alone. We are indeed good people. I want us all to know that we are not alone in this. Regardless of how bad it is or how bad it gets, we are not alone.
