So, when people ask me for one thing they can do to bring about a more positive future, I suggest they seek out stories of real change that are happening right now. I’m talking about local food projects, renewable energy projects and neighbourhoods coming together to create their own solutions.

    Yes, read about happy things 🌈🤩🙈… while the hours tick by and you can’t afford the “cost of living” on the scraps you’ve scavenged, and every day pushes you a little bit closer to having a tarp for a roof under some local bridge until — you disappear completely and no one has to worry that they’re likely next…

    That’ll do it, for sure. 👯‍♂️🤮

    What a place of saccharine privilege this comes from. 🥲

      So your bitter sarcasm suggests that a person can’t be simultaneously hopeful and actively struggling, that you must always be immersed in your own local suffering and ignore the success of others as false hopes, that we must universalize our own experiences, and that an emotionally complex life is not possible?
