Many of us need opportunities to express our anger and to have our anger met with acceptance, even while it may be challenging for those around us and close to us to hear it. But because taking the risk of expressing anger can also be very vulnerable and scary, we may need help creating a safe enough environment to share. What do other people do that helps make it safe for you to be angry?

Throughout the pandemic, I have posted messages on my Facebook wall that I needed to hear myself or that I imagined others may be needing to hear. Again and again, these messages spurred collective online processing of a range of challenges and lows and bright spots of living through the pandemic. This series of cartoons is intended to reflect on and illustrate some of the process of dealing with life by leaning into the intersection of technology and community. |
