A life not enjoyed is a life wasted

[sylestarisphd]

A reminder that whatever that you may be doing, rest is most important.

[sylestarisphd]

You can take small steps, and still reach for distant goals.

[sylestarisphd]

The littlest thing can bring out the biggest joy.

[sylestarisphd]

Celebrate the small things, like picked flowers blooming.

PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS! RUSSIA HAS BLOWN UP THE KHAKIBKA HYDROELECTROSTATION DAM AND IS FLOODING COUNTLESS UKRAINIAN TOWNS AND VILLAGES! THIS IS THE BIGGEST ECOLOGICAL CATASTROPHE IN EUROPE SINCE CHORNOBYL! Post written and provided by @ohsalome: Now, the situation is desperate. I know I've bothered you with donations recently, but this is a time-sensitive matter. I've collected several organisations that are currently helping to evacuate people from the territory that is/will be soon flooded. Please, please, send them any cent you can and signal boost this, the things are really BAD and we need as much help as we can get: Vostok SOS helps people evacuate from dangerous territories, since the beginning of the war they've already helped 46 000 people. Elderly and disabled people are of an extra need of assistance. Helping to leave is another organization that has been helping evacuate people from occupied territories, and is currently gathering funds to help people in Kherson region.

Denys Fedko is a volunteer who currently collects money for fuel, which is always in short stock during war; and general evacuation needs.

PEOPLE ARE DROWNING, THE ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ARE BEING WIPED OUT! THIS IS SOME OF THE MOST FERTILE SOIL ON THE EARTH, WHICH HAS BEEN GROWING GRAIN FOR EXPORT TO HUNDEREDS OF COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE ONES MOST DEPENDANT ON FOREIGN EXPORTS!

Here you can also donate to the Firefighters foundation that works directly with The State Emergency Service of Ukraine. They're collecting money to buy a lot of motor pumps tu pump the water from flooded areas.

There's also this link from UAanimals fundraising money to save animals affected by flooding. This is a trusted source, please donate.

Fundraising for animals affected by the explosion at Kakhovka Hydro Power Plant - UAnimals

The UAnimals team has already mobilized to evacuate animals from the dangerous areas. We will do everything possible to help those in need.Y

Before I see someone else say it:

yes, Russia claims that Ukraine destroyed the dam and Ukraine says it was russia

flooded rivers/lowlands have been used as obstacles to assist defensive operations for centuries

there is no advantage to Ukraine for destroying their own power plant (when Russia was and is attacking Ukrainian power infrastructure) or creating an obstacle to their own counteroffensive to reclaim Ukrainian territory

these are the relevant facts for when Russia supporters try to disrupt the information space with nonsense

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

Besides, arguing who did or didn't do it literally doesn't matter right now because the water flooding innocent civilians' homes sure doesn't give a fuck about who broke the dam

As long as you’re still here, Life hasn’t yet won.

The fight continues.

[sylestarisphd]

When Life decides to be funny, play along.

[sylestarisphd]

There will always be times in Life, when you’ll just get to the grind of work, work that need doing.

[sylestarisphd]

Seek the beauty in Life, for it will keep you sane from the uglies of Life. Should you can’t find the beauty, go make one yourself.

[sylestarisphd]

[sylestarisphd]

It is certain that Life will get in your way. It is ok to stumble, even a few steps back. But one must keep pushing forward. Move around, push aside or push through Life, as long as the next step is taken.

This is the way.

[sylestarisphd]

Every time you clean up after yourself, you’re saying you’re leaving the past behind, and that’s ok.

[sylestarisphd]

Life is hard. The only viable option is to go harder. Carve out of life, don’t let life crack you.

A poem on the burden of life by ChatGPT

This took the AI quite some trouble to generate; I wonder why.

Burden of Life

In the depths of this journey we all traverse, Lies a burden carried, a weight so diverse. Life's tapestry woven with strands of strife, I paint you a poem on the burden of life.

From the very first breath to the final goodbye, We're bound by the limits that make us sigh. Responsibilities and worries, they cling so tight, A relentless companion from morning till night.

Oh, the burden we bear, heavy as stone, Each step a struggle, in this path we're thrown. Dreams and desires weighed down by the real, The weight of expectations, a relentless ordeal.
