My first READ of 2026 - A vow for chaotic times:

Even when things get worse, I will keep choosing what builds life.

#ConsideredOptimism. #InformationHygiene. Nervous system care. #Community that holds pressure.

Read HERE: greggtheartivist.com/2026/01/06/c...

#ChoosingWhatBuildsLife
A notebook and a hand holding a black pen on a table symbolising considered optimism and choosing what builds life in 2026 . Text reads in quotes above notepad “if 2026 is going to be a year of escalation, then let it also be a year where we quietly become more alive”… written on the note pad are the words fear, noise, feed, panic crossed out and circled in red ‘build life’ - underneath reads ‘even when things get worse, I will keep choosing what builds life” - then the post title ‘A vow for 2026 - considered optimism’

A Polaroid from the final Humanity Hub #Community Drinks of 2025 became my #2025reflection.

Less noise. More #belonging, listening, space for real perspectives and shared direction in 2026.

What did 2025 teach you about #humanity?

My father sent me an article that first made me angry with its fear loaded language. Looking deeper, it revealed how we inherit national stories of fear and pride… and how a billionaire media magnate learned to use those emotions to sell his papers.

A warship sits far out on a calm blue sea with soft cloud formations above it. Over the image the phrase “In our backyard again.” appears in quotes, showing an example of sensational news language. Below it the title “Fear as a Product” and the words “Headlines that manufacture emotion” highlight the theme of media creating fear through framing.

France faces a wine crisis from climate change. (See link)

Are our daily staples next?

Coffee and chocolate see prices soar as harvests fail.

Sooner than later, will these comforts be luxuries only the wealthy can afford?

So much climate fiction is dystopian. But stories can be seeds of hope.

The Guardian shares 5 novels that imagine not just survival, but transformation.
We need these visions as much as warnings.

What’s the most hopeful climate story you’ve read?

Collapse feels closer: heatwaves, floods, fires. But it isn’t just an ending, it’s a reckoning. A chance to repair systems, build solidarity & choose community over profit. What does “just transition” mean to you?

The most powerful climate stories aren’t always grand.
They’re rooted in sincerity, in what they dare to feel and what they dare us to imagine.
Sometimes, they are small and as big as hope itself.

@dust-eu.bsky.social is linking rural voices + policymakers for just sustainability transitions.
As an artist + climate storyteller, I’ve seen how lived experience can shape policy when it’s heard.
Who else here works at the intersection of community, climate justice + policy?
