the depressing thing about what's happening and to come is how fucking unnecessary all of it was. no war forced us into this, no massive recession. bunch of bored morons pushed the "break everything" button because of the man on the tv and the people on their phone told them, and people will die.

So the Anti-Defamation League is urging us to give actual Nazis the "benefit of the doubt." I must say I am not enjoying the view from this side of the looking glass.

Stay kind to each other.
They want us off balance, angry and above all, divided.
Joy is fuel.
The revolution is personal.
They can assume power, but not control.
We are entering a new winter.
Bundle up, and visualize a world after their reign.
There’s no alternative, and no surrender.

Monday I'm going for a hike in a place I love. Phone off.

All of the above, please! You're one of my favorite sources of insight into current events, and also one of my favorite photographers!

I'm glad to see you here! I don’t want to lose track of people who matter to me (we haven't met, but we're both part of a larger family of damn-givers).

@loveday225.bsky.social hey, love, glad you're here!
