This week’s election felt like the most divisive of my lifetime, but instead of doom-scrolling my way through it, I found a place where people still put politics aside.

The week before the 2020 election, I took to running up and down the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts, at night instead of sleeping. I gave myself shin splints and ended up frightening the neighbors.
