I keep seeing people say, why isn't anyone doing anything?
So I'll say something that seems obvious to me but may not be to others.
People -are- doing stuff. They're just not posting about it. People who can't keep quiet are a liability.

Never forget that writers/artists can and do change the world!
Octavia was a self professed asocial hermit.
I’ve always said I do my best writing when I have complete solitude. The world makes more sense to me when I’ve got distance from it - and that distance allows for creation.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

Shortly after Citizens United, Jimmy Carter issued a stark warning about the role of Big Money in politics. May we remember the truths that he told us — and act to remedy them. bit.ly/4j6N1cC
Jimmy Carter on the American oligarchy
He was a truth-teller. We should remember what he said — and act on it.

Heart. Broken. My god. How is the world allowing this? I’ll tell you how: The West has bought the bullshit argument that to condemn Israel is to be anti-Semitic. So here we are, witnessing war crimes in real time and our leaders are too afraid to challenge it. Fuck this.
