I posted this in response to people expressing hopelessness and despair and someone just post quoted it “NO THAT’S ADVICE FOR CHILDREN GO DO SOMETHING” so I blocked them because that’s being an annoying douche and if I could block them across the fucking multiverse I would.
Look for the helpers.
Faced with evil, watch for the decent people standing against it.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Humor wards off despair. If we’re going to turn this thing around, despair is the one thing we cannot afford.

The antidote to both apathy and despair is action. Doing anything is better than nothing. You’ve got this.

Everyone channels their feelings of powerlessness and despair at the state of the world into rank transmisogyny, because we're the designated effigy for everyone else's frustrations and anger and desire to feel like they have power and control over SOMETHING.

I love how Elliott Smith has songs where he’s in a catatonic state of despair and ones where he’s the most pissed off anyone has ever been and they’re both at the same volume.

Despair is a view about the future, a future about which we know nothing.
Today, we rage and grieve. After that, I always find it useful to reflect on the civil rights movement circa 1930. They had a lot more reason than I do to despair, and yet they kept fighting.

I've been thinking about this post since I saw it earlier and I think this is a day where recognizing the darkness and horror of where we are is necessary, but that is not giving in to despair.
Sometimes I think that the boundary between not giving in to despair and toxic positivity gets a bit blurry.
When there's a salvo of grim news, I find it particularly hard to tell.

Minnesota is a wonderful place and I wish the various law enforcement entities that operate here would stop killing people.
Feeling so much horror and despair and fear right now in this place I love.
I wish I had words of encouragement right now. I know some folks look to me for that. Got nothing.

My goals for 2026 are simple. I shall be:
1. Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Dawn!
2. Treacherous as the Sea!
3. Stronger than the foundations of the earth!
4. All shall love the new me, and despair!
