Gratitude and hope for humanity: the many resources that help us heal ourselves, support others, and rescue our society and the planet from the dumpster fire in which we currently find ourselves. It's quite amazing how much wisdom and compassion there is out there. Let's make good use of it.

Gratitude and hope for humanity: that Bluesky is here and doing as well as it is. I wish I were more engaged with it. Hopefully, when some other things settle down in my life, I will be. Peace to everyone out there!
