THEY CAN'T BEAT LOVE.
They - whoever they are... don't stand a chance. Because they can't beat Love. Because all those old bits from religion and that about Love being all powerful is true, you know? And that's the bit they can't do. You know, they can't handle it. #powertothepeople

I know how hard this can be right now. I'm not saying close your eyes to the infinite challenges we face. I'm saying this for self-preservation. Don't give up. Don't back down. But don't feel that if joy is in your life you're somehow not doing your part.
Joy, laughter help keep us alive.
Joy, laughter help keep us alive.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

Bison are the only animal that turn into a snowstorm rather than away from it because they instinctively know that walking into the storm will get them out of the weather quicker. There may be a life lesson for humans in this. (It also makes for some epic pictures.)

Ernest Hemingway once said,
“In our darkest moments, we don’t need advice.”
What we truly need is the power of human connection: a quiet presence, a gentle touch, or the smallest gesture that reminds us we’re not alone.
