I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

When you finally have the life that you worked so hard for, you owe it to yourself to enjoy every minute. Whatever happens next will happen next.

Don't quit. That's what authoritarians want, and make us lose hope.
I recommend this: spend less time online. Go to your local town hall meetings, find or start an in person group surrounded around serving your community, spend one day a week without your phone.
We need to rebuild IRL community.

After the election, I realized that I needed to quit my interest in current events and politics. They are just too toxic. It's not healthy to worry like that.
Like you, I have been struggling to figure out what to do instead. It's really hard to fill the morning coffee news hour.

Politics is not just about being right, nor is it just about winning; politics is about persuading others to think and behave differently.

Bolstering Ukraine right now is not only a moral obligation.
It is also a strategic imperative.
The world is watching.
Our friends - and even more our foes - will observe carefully how we sustain our support to Ukraine.
It has to be ironclad.

I'm struggling to find my voice in this space. I don't really know what to post about. I'm resisting sharing or commenting on anything political. I want a social media that moves away from political discourse; I want a politics that centers around real world organizing and physical community.

If my mother could see
what I am creating—
who I am creating,
why I am creating,
how I am creating;
She would ask me to crawl
into her womb.
So we could rebirth
a new life again.

Thank you, I'm exhausted saying this by myself.
If you go up to somebody and yell “f*ck you, I know you hate me” over and over, anybody who isn’t an actual saint will eventually agree with you. You’ll be right, at the cost of making the world a worse place for yourself and that other person too.

I used to make coffee for someone I once loved. Not the only act of love but a significant one. She was very neglectful of me and our relationship though. It was painful to end with someone I cared for so much but was not emotionally available.
…relationship, making myself coffee in the mornings became the most peaceful practice in my life. I raised the standard for how I should be treated, by treating myself that way. Now I’m married to someone who makes me the BEST coffee, everyday, and sits with me and has a peaceful moment with me.
