Looking at art and flowers can sustain your spirit.
In the words of AOC: "it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public [...] this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive" (Nov 2024)

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

You know that Margaret Atwood quote: "Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them"...
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

It's very difficult to find words at this time. I do hope things will get better. I'm reading stories of resistance against fascism during WW2...

Meliorism is the belief that the world can get better and that we can help make it so. Unlike optimism, which hopes for change, meliorism acts. Unlike idealism, which dreams of perfection, meliorism improves what’s real.

Smell the summer, and breathe.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.
