HOW TO FEEL WHEN THE WORLD IS FALLING APART

SANDI AULT—Reporting from the WILD

SANDI AULT, award-winning author of the WILD Mystery Series, tries to make sense of a country that is torn apart following the 2024 election cycle. As the 2nd largest (and one of the most beautiful) cities in the country burns in a catastrophic result of decades of client denial, we can all see apocalyptic signs around us. An ex-president who was an exceedingly decent man dies just as an exceedingly indecent one prepares to rule, along with an plethora of billionaires who openly plot imperialism and discuss how they will divide the earth up among the oligarchs. The same vultures spew lies about the disaster on the left coast while hawking up blame at those trying to manage the crisis.
Nearly half the country is just groovy with insurrection, open corruption, misogyny and racism, according to their votes. What to make of all this when you believe in dignity and decency and the equality of all?
It's enough to make anyone ride the roller coaster of emotional distress, but in a search for emotional equilibrium, Sandi's voice shares what she discovered about herself and what to do next.
