I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Panel 1: two crows are walking in the snow as a heavy but gentle snow falls around them. Panel 2: one says to the other while looking ahead "Heh, that lump of snow looks like..." Panel 3: what they thought was a lump of snow opens its eyes, revealing itself to be a pure white snowy owl. Panel 4: "Gasp" gasps the second crow. "... a spirit!" exclaims the first.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

An animated purple finch from the finch app in green winter gear with a reindeer pet exploring the city of Bergen

It’s wild that a silly little tamagotchi-like birb has got me a clean house and a brighter outlook. Also, look! My finch is in Bergen! #finchapp

All groups are political. Your book club. Your knitting group. Your gardening collective. The companies from which you buy your food, clothes, entertainment. The place you work out. Right now, in this cultural moment, anything you can do in the groups you're in contact with makes a difference.

Far northern Minnesota winter requires some creativity to not fall into SAD. I’m giving myself enrichment activities, like zookeepers give to chimpanzees.

Breathe. Embrace your free time. Pour into your community. Respect what you can't control. Reject nihilism. Remember pace and perspective. Burnout is the enemy and helps no one, least of all yourself, and should be stridently avoided. That's the only way we're gonna get through this. And we will.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.
