I'm really struck by his reference to "...those who chose participation over despair."
The opposite of despair isn't hope. The opposite of despair is participation. I always say despair isn't a luxury, it's an emotion. It just is.
But is it costly to hang onto. Because it's the opposite of doing.

If people were truly serious about “Make America Great Again,” they’d want us to tax the rich at 90% like we did in the ‘60s but the billionaire propaganda works 👇🏼
The internalized bias conservatives have that socialism=poverty just gets accepted as a given. The idea that if we got rid of billionaires, everyone could live the equivalent lifestyle of a millionaire would blow their teeny tiny minds.

You may be having a day (week? month? year? life) where it feels like a major victory that you showered and put on clean clothes. Or maybe you're pumped because you ate food today.
Take joy wherever you find it. Don't let anyone tell you that your small victories aren't victories at all. 🫂

I’ll never forget getting my first long arm stapler, back in Grade 9. Some older friends had introduced me to the world of minicomics & zines. I had access to a paper cutter and a low-cost photocopier. With the addition of the stapler, I was off to the races!

Score! I found a brand new Bostitch long reach stapler at Unique Thrift for $6.99 this morning. This means I will retire and give away an older one from my fleet. A nice end to a hard year.
