Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today.

conservation is worship to me. in a sense.

[crabussy]

I'm not religious but I'm a very emotional scientist and I've been thinking about this a LOT lately. I love the earth enough to be its steward. and I have the necessary tools for the task. a complex brain. dexterous hands. legs made to walk long and far. millions and millions of years of Chance and Opportunity shaped me into something that can give back to the planet that has been a life-sustaining home for every person who ever lived. it's enough to make me teary eyed sometimes

[crabussy]

"humans are pests that should be exterminated" I don't think that's true. the ecological niche of humans has shifted from persistence predation to stewardship of entire ecosystems. we've done a lot of wrong. but we have incredible potential to do so, so, so much good.

[crabussy]

this post speaks very broadly! I know a lot of us have brains that find some tasks very difficult and hands that struggle and legs that hurt. you're a wonderful person if that's you. I'm more than happy to do enough for us both. we're stewards, but we're also a cooperative species with an incredible capacity for kindness. rest well for me. [:

Listen, star-spawn, face in my hands, when I say this to you: You must endeavor to make health as pleasurable as they have made self-destruction.

You must hydrate. Tint your water, sweeten your water, worship your water if you must, only hydrate. If you must know your greens by another name or form, do so, only eat your greens. If you must play a game or create a contest to clean your room or take your medicine, then by Judgment, play your games and make your contests.

Your mighty teach that while health is just and necessary, poison is fun and starvation is beautiful. It is difficult to focus on justice and necessity when fun and beauty are taking up the spotlight. This is natural. Euhedonia is the only way. Seek out joy in the care of yourselves.
