Thank you, Julie, for sharing how hate mail feels and the reflections that help you come to terms with it, thereby helping us appreciate why it matters to disagree respectfully.
Yet another beautiful piece; thank you for your wonderful writing and putting your voice out here in the world. It’s so sad that this is the state of affairs. I love that you will not be silenced!
