while #rightwing has the #privilege (?) to live a #life in #ignorance and #stupid and thus not fix any #problems (until they become so big that everyone starts running in circles in #panic)

#lefties also have the #right to a #happy #life

i know it's #hard being #positive #optimistic #inspiring when #madness is getting so much attention (which can lead to #depression)

but he is right, if it's financially possible without breaking your back: go #travel do something positive :D

do whatever u can to become your own #antidepressant

Browsing on the Octopus Energy forums again (...it's been a quiet day!) and I noticed that if you've moved to Octopus and *didn't* use a referral code at the time, you can add one after the event and still get a £50 credit... I don't know if this is true, but in the interests of science, please feel free to try it with my code:
share.octopus.energy/jade-crow

(full disclosure: I will also get £50 if it works 😂 )

Looking back through 2024 pictures, realizing I had to break up with some old paths in order to get closer with new bigger opportunities. Reflecting from a couple of favorite mountain experiences this past year in Canada & Oregon. It was a pretty strange year for me personally working through some adversity, had some pretty low moments and hit some high notes too. Overall leaving 2024 better off than how it started. Feeling really optimistic & creating space for positivity ahead. Despite some cultural/political challenges unfolding, sensing this as an opportunity to lead, be a better person and navigate these stormy times more effectively by connecting with more like minded people. Hear hear, to living better in the new year! 

Hey, let's try not to catastrophize about the #DonaldTrump administration. Yes, it will be bad, but we need to fight it. Don't submit and accept the destruction of your freedoms. Don't let the news media downplay his mania. Hold our legislators' feet to the fire. Call them, write to them, attend State House meetings. And ask for the help of #charities, #thinktanks, #advocategroups, or #PlacesOfWorship. We have to stay #optimistic. #uspolitics

It feels like a bit of a positive step back in time. I like progress, but I loved MSN Messenger more than Meta #messenger .

I also trusted #Google more when their motto was 'Don't be evil' and it made me think when they dropped that.

But I'm #optimistic I think decentralised social networks will gradually become more popular as people get tired of being manipluated with algorithm-aggregated feeds.

Anyway, I'm happy to be here and curious to explore the #fediverse .
