Every day, we make impossible choices.
We want to hang out with our friends, but we can't. We want to move somewhere safe from fires & storms & heat waves, but we can't. We want to stay where we are, but we can't. We want to elect responsible leaders, but we can't. We want to talk about all of this, but we can't.
There are no good options. What we have are bad & worse options forced on us by a small group of psychopaths who think they're going to survive the apocalypse in bunkers & then colonize space.
We want to mourn the dead future, but we can't.
Today, the best kind of self-care is to keep caring about other people, setting an example, & demanding better from those in positions of wealth, power, & influence. When we feel the exhaustion setting in, we have to back off & recharge. We have to be the ones.
Nobody else will."
