I do not care so much about the concept of "hope" except in a more personal, perhaps even religious view, but I do care about what can be done, and what can be done is that ecosystems can be protected and restored.

Humanity has managed and mismanaged natural environments since the beginning of our existence. What is different now is that we have a scientific understanding of how ecology works and we can organize our society based on this.

Not many people know this, but forests can grow back. You can plant trees.

It's not the first time I've been asked "how do you have hope for the future" and I kind of don't! I just know what has to be done and what is being done. I don't have any more "hope" than that. My personal feelings will not change much. Militancy will.

Sewing is a very practical skill to learn, but if you don’t have anyone to teach you, the sheer volume of techniques out there can make getting started overwhelming. This is a good step-by-step guide to getting started.

ANHEDONIA REMEDIES!

GET YOUR ANHEDONIA REMEDIES HERE!

if you are lost in the rut, i am begging you to read this essay by Sasha Chapin suggesting what, essentially, my take, are potential jump-starts back into living life in real time. like actually experiencing experiences

do it now! don’t lose months, years, or decades! there is a life beyond doomscrolling, and it’s finite (sorry. sorry. i know okay)

Ok I found this genuinely helpful today, having recently been dealing with long-term stress and a creeping amount of anhedonia. There are several brilliant ideas in here, I highly recommend giving it a read.

HOW DO I MOVE ON? EVEN WHEN IT WAS MY FAULT? EVEN WHEN I WAS THE ONE IN THE WRONG? EVEN WHEN I HURT SOMEONE WITHOUT CAUSE OR EXCUSE OR EXPLANATION? WHEN I HAVE NO RECOURSE TO SEEK FORGIVENESS AND WHEN THEY ARE RIGHT TO NEVER FORGIVE ME, SO THE ONLY THING THERE IS LEFT TO DO IS TO MOVE ON AND AND DO BETTER OR DIE. AND I AM NOT DYING?
