oh boy, needing this reminder myself again.
You also have to avoid energy vampires. I'm sorry even the morally aligned ones. You cannot craft a strategy for your family to achieve beyond your ancestors' dreams & your little queer rocketship cannot blast out into escape velocity if all you have in your ear is people screaming NOTHING WILL WORK
And this point about leverage is central. I think one aspect that a lot of knowledge workers and people who make their money with their minds miss is this though: you have to be laser-focused on where your creative work can build you leverage

If you are feeling as helpless and no words are enough enraged as we are, get together with neighbors. We are doing that today and tomorrow and the next day

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I saw someone criticizing a very funny poster for making jokes instead of posting about politics, and I am reminded of a favorite line from E. B. White: We should strive not for balanced books but balanced libraries
