In #Okinawa, coastal fishermen now farm #coral, restoring #reefs like planting trees in a forest. With #ocean temperatures rising, half the world’s coral reefs have already vanished. These farmers are fighting back, one fragment at a time. [Heppoko Taylor]

- For the past few days, I've been a nervous, anxious wreck. I say that with a lot of love and compassion for how I'm trying to navigate these intense times. Don't hold it against yourself if you're finding life to be tough right now. Makes so much sense. #selfcompassion #equanimityisoverrated

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.

Take a break from the clown show and look at this perfect little nest. #smallimportantthings #pause #resistfascism

I realize that nothing competes with the current clown show, but still, here is a photo of a beeswax candle. Soft rebellion includes pausing, and noticing what is good and beautiful. #softrebellion #resistfascism

In the middle of this dissolution, in the middle of this falling apart, there can still be joy, presence, and connection. Seek it out. It may save you. #joy #presence #connection #resistfascism

Let's take joy and silliness and connection very seriously - as though they are imperatives to keep our souls alive. #softrebellion #resistfascism #joy

"Spending time connecting to your true self is not selfish in these times - it's intricately connected to a resistance movement that is tied to honoring our bodies, our communities, and to the land. We have to build capacity to resist by being exactly who we are!"- D.L.Mayfield #rest #resistfascism

One of things that helps me stay off social media these days and helps me settle a bit is darning socks. A quiet focused meditation. #everydaymeditation #practicalmeditation #resistfascism

More important than ever to notice the good. Look for the sunsets. Wrap up in a cosy blanket. Please take good care. #resistfascism #thisbeautifulplanet

Trees instinctively know how to pause and rest. They go through periods of stasis through the year, and even relax their branches at night. Learn from the trees. Pause when you can, and rest when you need to. onetreeplanted.org/blogs/storie... #wisdomoftrees #pause #rest #restpractices

One of the voices I have been listening to as I watch the downfall of a western democracy - @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

I’ve been writing about troubled times ever since the pandemic hit (and maybe even before that). Troubled times are still here (with a vengeance). One of my most important ways to gain clarity and some settledness is to rest every day - sometimes for 10 minutes and sometimes for 20 or more. #rest
