Nearly every panel I spoke on this year ended with the same question: "What gives you hope?" My friends, that question expired years ago. (If you need receipts, my book Saving Us is literally a 300-page answer.) The real question is: How are you PRACTICING hope? Because Greta is right ..
For years, I’ve given dozens of talks & used PollEV to track audience questions. About a decade ago, I noticed the same q being upvoted to the top of every list, whether speaking with gardeners or scientists: “What gives you hope?” (or its flip, “Are we screwed?”) I wrote this book to answer it!
The book is a deep dive into the science of how individuals can catalyze change. It uncovers some fascinating truths, the most vital of which is this: Lack of worry isn't what's holding back climate action. It's lack of efficacy. Most are worried - but don't know what to do. Hence my pinned post! RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:u3qtw…
I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love. Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below! We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚
maybe it needs many people moving/pulling in the same direction to generate the kind of hope you are talking about. we have done this before in the fridays-for-future times. we can do it again.
Why can´t I boost and/or like this more than once? I agree so much with this sentiment.Yesterday I deleted my Amazon account. I haven’t used it for years, but it felt so good to get it out of my life.
It's me. I'm a fun weirdo who makes cool handmade stuff. Specifically I build custom GameCube controllers and parts such as hotswappable cables sleeved with 550 paracord and colourful buttons made of epoxy resin! I've done modding work on other systems in the past too, and of course I also take commissions!
I am a sole practitioner and my wife Crystal is a pleinaire painter with a small gallery selling local painter's work. We do what you propose daily and help others. We also have 2 shelter cats, Ralphie and Alice, named for the "Honeymooners". Keep up the good work. Crystal's Bob

@david_chisnall It was Star Trek TNG where I first heard it (or noticed it was a thing). I sort of guessed what they meant based on what they were talking about. I then came onto Fedi and asked about it for confirmation. @dgar

So do the rich ass wangs who screamed that they'd leave NYC if Mamdani won, need any help? Are there like “Help the trash humans pack" parties or anything?
I wouldn't want their departures delayed or anything. I'm sure they'll love it in Florida or Texas.

@pinguino This is false, as presented with the photo. Under Soviet Communism, a devastating famine that took place in the Ukraine region of the Soviet Union, was recognized in the Ukrainian parliament as a deliberate act of genocide against the country’s people. The artificially introduced food shortage created under Stalin.
@pinguino @clintruin @SimpleRobC The holocaust was part of the ideology of Nazism. Starving people isn't part of the ideology of Socialism.
Capitalism has starvation as part of its ideology (if you can't work you starve, often even working isn't enough to avoid starving) and it's only avoided through socialist policies.
It's not Socialism when people call themselves socialists (the Nazis called themselves socialists), it only Socialism when people actually do Socialism.
Prior resident of socialism. Socialism is best explained by Soviet Vending machines. You could get five choices : kvas, water, tea, lemonade, and fruit drink. All with one single communal, machine rinsed glass for everyone. The notion that random people feed random children is fanciful twaddle. People in a closed community generally look out for themselves and take pity on anyone who needs it.
🇨🇦 🤔 Huh. And here I thought 'socialism' meant socialized healthcare, unemployment insurance, regulated auto insurance and a plethora of societal safety nets...

Cringe. Forehead slap .... another uneducated ignorant white dude proclaiming some sort of truth with no clue he has zero idea what he's talking about.
propaganda works. But it’s also true that the Soviet Union by the time Breznev came around was a hypercorrupt hierarchic kleptocracy. It was more Russian imperialism than socialism by the end of it, but the warning should be heeded. Soviet Union was NOT the way you should do socialism.
Public private partnership with exploitation of child labor.
Hidden part is that the kids first had the best candies for themselves, made some well hidden cache, delt the rest with the others, gave to those in need and the old dude gets what nobody else wanted.
It's supremely weird to me that so many people think socialism is about people voluntarily sharing, and not about the state stealing your earned labor product from you at gunpoint.
When I drove across Europe from the UK to the Eifel region of Germany, I kept wondering what was so important about the town of Ausfahrt as I was seeing signs for it everywhere.
It means 'exit' and is on every off road to things like motorways. 🤦
