It’s as if words like truce and ceasefire don’t actually mean anything anymore with US media. The rest of us, though, should stick with the actual meaning of words.

This thread reminds me that I need to get back to Joyful Militancy (by carla bergman and Nick Montgomery). Joy is a form of protest for marginalized communities!! The world being a dark place is definitely not a reason to suppress joy 👍🏻.
An important thread.
Find joy. Do good things. Find joy doing good things. You are not alone. ❤️
We need more news from Finland.
The country with 1000km of border with unpredictable Russia, that also has quite a lot sorted out well: education, housing, energy, etc
If you get scared of big STARTER PACKS, here’s just 25 accounts on CITIES & URBANISM that i hope you’ll follow, and share.
And if you want more, check out my OTHER starter packs too. My packs are the actual examples profiled in the official “BLUESKY FOR DUMMIES” book! go.bsky.app/6fWyVZf
It can feel like our only two choices are to feel appropriately angry and afraid almost all the time (because we’re paying attention), or try to turn it all off, and be part of the far-too-large crowd that isn’t speaking out nearly enough in an unprecedented time when everyone MUST speak out! 2/
But here’s the thing… I’ve stopped buying into that false choice. I’m sure as hell not going to be quiet, but I’ll call out the lies, hypocrisy, corruption, fascism etc with joy & passion rather than anger & fear. It’ll fuel me, not drain me. @urbantruth.bsky.social is an example.
Joy & passion. 3/
