Our annual opportunity for some of us to meet up with old friends & new members. It was a festival with all the feelings, as ever. The challenge now is to grow hope in some very difficult situations #HopeIsAVerb

Thank you @marcelias.bsky.social for this reflection. Your definition of Hope is active and on point for this moment when Cynicism would be so much easier, except that leads to losing everything I hold dear about my American Life.

The world feels upside down, louder by the minute, and stacked against the good. But you’re still here— heart steady, spine intact. That’s not nothing. That’s how revolutions begin.

louder by the minute,
and stacked against the good.
But you’re still here—

Hope is the quiet, unreasonable bet that tomorrow can be better—and the audacity to act like it will be.

I also recommend the book A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety; very helpful and inspiring. Honestly, the best thing for me to hear is that oil corps WANT you scared & hopeless bc then you won’t act. They are afraid of us en masse—so join collective action. #hopeisaverb
