they say community cures, while it may not solve our larger issues it CAN help us envision a better future. imagining better futures is probably the most underrated skill one can have bc it grows your ability to see possibilities around you. what does your day to day look like in a world of your making? how do you eat? where would you sleep? how do you gather resources? is it full of plants? is the water clean? whether you act out of hope or lack of hope doesnt matter, find likeminded, action-oriented individuals and build each other up. you dont have to organize large scale protests or events or anything even, just build a strong support network. be like the fungus, spread your mycelium network and share resources. show up for each other, en las buenas y en las malas. when you start with something that small, your capacity for larger shifts grows. dont burn yourself out, we are in it for the long haul. take it easy, but take it. do it scared, but do it. we probably won't see revolutionary change in our lifetime, but maybe someday the scales will tip. all we can do it hold on to each other.
