[angelbabymikaa]

don’t let anyone convince you that caring about the earth, the environment, and wildlife isn’t cool. it is so cool to care. it is so important to care.

[pridefulsuggestion]

no, modernity has not eaten away all of the dark yet. it can’t—we’re still living. as long as we are still here, the great swathe of us, there will be corners where the best angels of humanity continue thriving.

the world forces great change upon us. but it cannot invert our natures.

[pridefulsuggestion]

whether you’re ready to believe it or not, there’s still a chance for us. we have to take it.

note to self: you’ve survived every hardship you thought you couldn’t, and you will continue to

[fulltransmetalgenderist]

my fellow trans people: all of the answers are in the river. you just need to go to the river and everything will make sense. a lake or ocean are fine substitutions. find the water and go to it. bring your friends. go alone. have a beer.

[pealingpetals]

this really spoke to me, as a trans hippie shut-in.

find the water and go to it. 👍

i do not want to live in the fucking panopticon fuck the camera that blinks above me at work, the tv watching me at the store, the "smile you're on camera" signs, the ring cameras, the flock cameras, the apps to track your child or partner, the activist friends telling me "just assume everything you do in public is being recorded somewhere", the government building protester databases, the teslas recording every move all around them, the knowledge that everything i type or search or save is being tracked and logged, the ads and search suggestions that mysteriously know what i was just talking about, the way biometrics keep creeping into more places, the way my car spies on me, the way my phone spies on me, the way there is nowhere to go to get away from it!!! no wonder the internet is full of vindictive little stalkers and witchhunts when it's the water and the air of society from the culture to the infrastructure

We can take control back! Community mapping projects using free open source software let you add where surveillance cameras are. I often take walks through new areas and observe the buildings to spot the bastards. When you do it, you find out there are more blind spots that you think. If you have a good map of public cameras you can avoid them or tell people about them. Or other things :)

[weirdtranssexual]

call me crazy but i think public transportation should explicitly also be for actively drunk/high people. so they don’t, you know, drive under the influence.

[weirdtranssexual]

i literally don’t care how afraid you are of drunk people. if they’re behaving well enough then there’s no reason to kick them off the bus.

if you can’t recognize it’s better for society for drunk people to have a way home that doesn’t involve them driving and potentially getting people killed then you just kind of suck actually.

Hope

Penelope S. Minner, 2026, Ganondagan (New York)

Seneca, Turtle Clan

Corn husk, fabric, beads, leather

"Hope is a little girl corn husk doll, who is watching her world around her. She represents the voice for the next generation. The white dress is representative of purity and innocence; the sunflower necklace is a sign of beauty but also happiness and optimism. The outlook of her life is full of possibilities and positive energy, she knows nothing of the turmoil and uncertainty surrounding her at the moment and from the past. The moment of sweetness is how I would like to represent peace and peacefulness. She sits up playing with her moccasins reaching out and fascinated with the simpler things and times."

[convexcave]

ok so instead of going on my usual the earth is doomed spiral I started looking into solar punk solutions and stumbled across the practice of permaculture & found a free 50 video series from the university of oregon on it if anyone else would like to learn abt ways we can actually start restoring earths whole deal

This is the foundation of all hope btw. In the words of Tolkien, 'despair is for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.'
