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. Itβs not intellectually superior. Itβs the virus theyβre trying to infect us with. NO

I will mend more. I will knit more. I will become a much better seamstress (I have purchased myself the absolute treat of beautiful new sewing scissors).
I am not looking for any pats on the back - I wish I had committed to it sooner! TBH I have been living close to this for quite a long time.

As of January 1, 2025, I am committed to purchasing ZERO items of retail clothing, shoes, accessories, undergarments (I DID stock up on underwear and bras on Dec.31stπ¬) for one calendar year. I will only purchase thrift/second hand/consignment - and as little of that as I can standπ¬

Hi, it meπ
I do not do resolutions. They are too grandiose and guilt-driven for me. I encourage you to do you. I have found that my interests and desires and wants shift lots in any twelve month period of time.
Fresh starts, tho? Hell yes. So, here goes (contd. in comments) β¦

Taking back the web. β Neil A. Evans
Itβs time to take back the web as something independent.
I tend to agree with @neilevans.rocks β We need to take back the Web. Is @bsky.app a move in that direction? I hope so.

Who knew that a kitchen skylight with the first sunshine after a terrible storm, snow melting to show the clear blue sky, could act as a symbol of hope?
