From LA Times article by writer John Scalzi [his blog, Whatever],
"John Scalzi's 10-point plan for getting creative work done in the age of Trump"
10. Remember: Your work matters.
There are people who rationalize that the next few years will be great for art, in the way that Margaret Thatcher’s rule was great for music in the UK in the ’80s.
I don’t think much of that argument — there’s always great art, in every political climate — but I do think it’s true that people will need art and the creative people who make it. Your work will matter to someone; it will help them get through. But only if you make it in the first place.

Take care of yourself, then get to work.
