Every day I have been trying to stay informed about our current events. And everyday I have been trying to find what brings me joy, so I can get through my day. Games and reading help me with this. RPGs like Dragon Quest and Otome games. Below is a sample of otome joy, which made me giggle a lot.

Now more than ever.

Round one goes to Team America. We remain in the ring until far right extremism has been completely and totally knocked out.

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

Right now we need to keep up our strength. We need to administer self-care to ourselves too so we can keep on moving forward. Whatever beneficial ways feed you and recharge your spirit, focus on those as you need to.

Among the many things Star Trek has taught us through the decades, it taught us that Resistance is never futile.

If you want Joe Biden to do something, posting on BlueSky alone won’t do it. Do what I do and use the White House contact form here. www.whitehouse.gov/contact/

Can I get some boosts for this? I know there are many great artists making custom stickers for N95s - if that’s you please comment below!

reminder: this is the point of the barrage of batshit appointments if you are a tiny bit freaked out by each of them it will add up to “too freaked out to do anything about anything” pick ONE thing at a time to be upset about, decide what action to take on it, then follow through, repeat

FOLLOW FRIDAY! Let’s build up the Resistance here — if you’re here, I want to follow ALL of you 🦋 Until midnight - Follow me, I’ll follow you back - Already follow me? Repost and I’ll follow you

The whole post by @wiswell.bsky.social is great, but I particular liked this snippet. johnwiswell.substack.com/p/why-write-...

I’m a public librarian in a degenerating democracy, and I am pleading: Care about your library. Use it. See what programs and events it offers. And pay attention to its governing body. See who the trustees are. Consider running yourself. Libraries will need all the community support they can get. 📚

Like everybody else, I'm disgusted and rage-filled and sick and tired and afraid for everyone. I don't know what to do, it feels endless and exhausting. But at some point it will be time to go into "we're not trapped in here with them, they're trapped in here with us" mode.

Through this I'm making sure to take care of myself. I'm making sure not to neglect my well-being, my self-care, and my needs. Please make sure youre hydrating and eating as you can. Make sure to include some things that bring you joy each day. For me that means even more reading, gaming, meditating

What day is it, day 3 since election disappointment and idiocy? It feels like it's been a week or two weeks! I'm tired but I'm more angry and determined and driven to do what I can to resist. Do not obey. I saw that and that is one of my mantras.

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming: 1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.

I won't and neither should any other who resist the cruel incompetency that's coming.

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

Don't go into tomorrow worried about how you are going to cope with it. Go into it knowing that you will cope with it, come what may. Knowing that you are a warrior, come what may.

The last few days have been rough, since I hadn't been feeling well. Through the times when I feelnpoorly or my depression is worse, audiobooks really help. In come Orcs from fantasy romance, light novels with comforting storylines, and books that I reread for comfort.

I hope you're finding a bit of peace tonight. Shit's crazy in the world right now and it can overwhelm the mind QUICKLY. So if you haven't, please try to get some rest no matter how brief. Sleep, your favorite game, a nice drink; whatever you need to find your zen and breathe. 🫶

sometimes its kind of pain being giga introverted because its like oh noo sorry bro i cant go out tomorrow bc i had a discord call last night. that's my social interaction quota for the week

Harsh self-punishment won't give us the power to do any past decision over. It won't make anything "right." Ask me how I know. Self-forgiveness may not come easy or natural-- but it's a necessary tool for realistically doing better. Whether we "deserve" it misses the point.

Be kind to yourself in quiet, little ways today. Even if you think you don't "deserve" it. Even if it's awkward. Even if you feel guilty. No attacking yourself today & no abandoning yourself today. No doing your bullies' & abusers' dirty work for them. Not today.

Please touch the image to read it all! 🐈‍⬛ This is a daily Purr from my Purrtreon. Every morning, Monday to Friday, I write and share one of these gentle reminders. If you’d like daily access to this kind of content and other exclusive things, please join my Purrtreon. 🤍

"It's really hard to use my tools today" doesn't mean "I'm too weak or stupid to use my tools today." Or "I deserve to suffer today." Or "all my recovery work is lost because I feel like garbage today." Easy. Days like this happen. Just take it choice by choice & do your best.

Sleep always makes me feel better. Never trust your feelings after 10pm 😌

If a disabled friend of yours is grieving something painful and likely permanent (loss of fertility, loss of ability to walk, loss of a planned future) it is not only fine, it’s wonderful to say, “I don’t know what to say, but I’m here.” Sometimes there aren't words. We just want you around.

Hey I hope everything you’re rooting for in your life comes to fruition. I hope you have things coming your way that will make you smile. You deserve happiness and I hope you get it ❤️

Currently reading volume 2 of "Taking My Reincarnation One Step at a Time" a light novel published by J-Novel Club, and loving it.
