Because joy is truer and stronger and more fun than despair. And a form of resistance. And because bsky told me FierceDisabilityJoy is too long.
Let's stay alive and lurch toward liberation.
In ordinary times, I think yes. These are not ordinary times.

"Remember that I lovingly don’t care about what you think, but I do care very deeply about our collective capacity to dig deeper, to relate wider, to engage in productive disillusionment, and to fall apart and together generatively, as we face the end of the world as we know it."

They want to say shit that upsets you and then watch you get upset. Starve them of that shit. Block them all. There's nothing constructive about the conflict fetish that drove the algorithm in the bad place. Arguing online only hardens most people's positions anyway. We don't have to live that way.

Paradox of Tolerance and all that.]

Yes to facing the shadow! May despair, though I may feel huge waves crash in and around me each day, never become my default
