When that happens, you need to take care of yourself, calm your reactive emotions and mind, and find ways to reconnect with other people who embody understanding, connection, and empathy. Otherwise, you’ll shut down completely, or veer in the opposite direction of outrage, disgust, and argument.

Here are 6 easy skills to practice protecting your peace of mind, to lead with integrity at work, at home, and for the people you care about.

We are a species connected by our shared humanity but we act ever-more separate due to the liberalism myth of individuality.

We live in a paradoxical duality: Our humanity connects us, but it doesn’t necessarily protect us.

This is especially true for LGBTQ+ people in Poland, Chechnya, and Russia. Dominant religious myths and political parties have deemed our lives a threat to societal mores and values — or that we are non-existent entities, i.e., we simply do not exist in their country.

It's unlikely that we can all just get along. It's not pragmatic, realistic, or even human nature. However, we can build bridges that connect more of us, bridges that people feel safe crossing — regardless of individual values or beliefs — to start a meaningful, humane dialogue.

Tim McCaskell's book, "Queer Progress: From Homophobia to Homonationalism," is a memoir and analysis of early Toronto gay and lesbian liberation politics, HIV/AIDS activism, queer social justice, and the rise of neoliberalism from 1974 to 2014.

In this episode, we talk about the book as a way of understanding where we are now in 2022, and where things are headed socially and politically from an intersectional viewpoint.
