New Anxiety Intervention unlocked: Repeating the intrusive thought in a Donald Trump voice makes it sound instantly idiotic.

A comic shows a distressed white squirrel asking, โ€œHow am I supposed to feel joy when the world around me is being destroyed?โ€ A glowing green spirit squirrel appears, sits beside them, and hugs them, & says, โ€œHowever you can.โ€

Living as well as we can for as long as we can, striving to improve the world without foreknowledge of our efforts' outcome...that's all we've ever had, climate crisis or no climate crisis, you know?

We don't know if we can save humanity, & we *can* do our best to make sure as many people as possible have lives worth living for as long as they're able.

Also, "the Earth" will go on with or without us.

Someone should tell RFK Jr that Emily Dickinson is suspected to have been autistic & one of the most prolific poets of all time.

His mischaracterization of autistic people shows him to be hateful, ignorant & uninformed.

More than that, we ALL have value. Evaluating โ€œworthโ€ shouldnโ€™t be a spectrum

Title: "It's That Easy!"

The cartoon is a four-panel comic strip that shows how environmental advice has escalated over the decades. In each panel, there's an adult (presumably a parent or teacher figure) kneeling next to a child and delivering advice about how to save the Earth. The child looks up at the adult, seemingly overwhelmed.

Panel 1 (Top Left โ€“ 1980s):

Scene: A man squatting next to a child. There's a regular trash can next to them.

Title: "IT'S THAT EASY!"

This is a four-panel comic strip that humorously tracks the increasing complexity of environmental advice over the decades. In each panel, a man is squatting next to a child, pointing forward with one hand. The manโ€™s expression stays the same throughout โ€” cheerful and upbeat โ€” while the child consistently looks a bit unsure or overwhelmed.

Panel 1 (Top Left โ€“ 1980s):

Scene: The man and child are next to a regular trash can.

Man says: "Pick up your litter and save the Earth!"

Panel 2 (Top Right โ€“ 1990s):

Scene: The man and child are now next to a recycling bin.

Man says: "Recycle and you can save the Earth!"

Panel 3 (Bottom Left โ€“ 2000s):

Scene: The man, now wearing a bicycle helmet, stands next to a bicycle with the same child.

Man says: "Reduce your carbon footprint and you can save the Earth!"

Panel 4 (Bottom Right โ€“ 2010s):

Scene: The background is now ablaze with fire and smoke, suggesting environmental catastrophe.

Man says: "Completely restructure global economic systems and you may be able to save a remnant of humanity!"

On the other hand, more people are waking up to systemic harms & the meta crisis.

It was disappointing to learn how many of the companies doing the most harm are completely private.

Granted, there are some very scary bills I'm watching, & you can definitely ask others what you can do for them, & for ME? Now? Resist the holocaust that's already here. Stop them grabbing people off the streets. Physically get in their way. And get people out.

Do that, so I never have to be next.

Since the election, people have asked what they can do for me. And I'm moved, & I also think, "For me? I'm fine. I can leave anytime. By the time you need to anything for *me*, it will be too late."

I hold my fear, anger, & profound weariness at the same time I know Americans are in concentration camps with only one cup & spoon to dozens of mouths & stomachs. And I'm not one of them, nor is anyone I know. Yet.

I dreamt I was being hunted through a JCPenney's by packs of middle-aged YT women who were afraid I would use their bathroom.

I texted my bestie (also trans), & she said, "Maybe prophetic dreams are real rofl ๐Ÿคฃ"

It's okay to laugh at this even if you aren't trans.

It's okay to cry.

A post from Strewth @StrewthQueen says, "Matt Walsh says trans people today are comparing themselves to Jewish people in the Holocaust

Incorrect. We are comparing ourselves to trans people in the Holocaust"

It's a weird #TransDayofVisibility for me because I feel all too visible all too much of the time. If a stranger walked up & asked, "Hey, are u trans?" my urge would be to palm my pepper spray & search for a convenient shrubbery to duck behind. Like, can we get a #TransDayofINvisibility up in here?

Media: Trump Media, Fox Corp, Sinclair Broadcast, News Corp, Salem Media Group, AT&T (funds OANN)

Tesla, Palantir (Thiel), Las Vegas Sands

Additions?

Everyone believes they will be the exception. That chronic illness, homelessness or tragedy wonโ€™t befall them.

We canโ€™t all be the exception. Life can change in an instant, and most will experience tragedy at some point in their lives.

We should all fight for better social supports & safety nets

This image is a screenshot of a Tumblr post by the user "nitewrighter." It reads:

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now?

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Ableism teaches us that disabled people are โ€œless thanโ€. That theyโ€™re lazy or not trying hard enough.

Disability can & does happen to anyone. It doesnโ€™t matter how hard you try or how much you โ€œwantโ€ to be well.

We all deserve compassion & worth should never be based on economic contribution.

This is such a great point. Community is so important, and bartering is a wonderful way to get to know your neighbors, rely more on each other than corporations. When community is lost, so is civility and humanity. The ROI when building relationships is worth more than goldโ€ฆ

This is a political cartoon depicting a scene at a United States Postal Service.

Description:
A postal worker, appearing tired and unenthusiastic, is standing behind the counter at a USPS office. A customer, a woman with reddish-brown hair wearing a purple coat and carrying a brown purse, looks at him with a surprised expression.

The postal worker says, "Sorry, we no longer have 'Forever' stamps. We now have 'Just taking it day by day' stamps..."

In the background, there is a "Wanted" poster depicting Donald Trump's face.
