Your enemies are counting on you to lose hope. Despair is one of their greatest weapons, for it leads you to stop fighting for yourself. Hold on to hope, no matter how hard it is, and refuse to join your enemy in bringing you down.

My computer keeps insisting on reminding me that it's International Wombat Day but an internet search says it was actually on the 22nd. All of this to say - I read @tkingfisher.com's What Stalks the Deep (a delightful read) either a day early or 5 days late and AI generated "facts" are a bad idea.

A reminder that every small bit of good you do - whether it be putting art into the world, helping a friend or stranger, donating to a good cause, or just listening to someone who needs to vent - offsets all the evil in the world just a little bit. And sometimes that's just what the world needs.
