Please I really need your help right now... I’m desperately scared of the end of the world because of climate disaster. Is there any hope left? It seems like the bad is outweighing the good more and more lately... I’m scared and I don’t want to die. Please help me... I need some sort of comfort right now...
Hey Anon. I’m so sorry that you’re having a bad time right now. It’s really vital to remember that many news sources thrive on dramatic, attention-getting stories, and it’s easier to accomplish this with bad news than with good. Just because you’re seeing a lot of doom and gloom doesn’t mean that is an accurate or balanced representation of what’s going on in the world.
Here are some posts that I think might help you: X X X X X. You can also find a lot of hopeful and positive news (from small local stories to big developments that have a worldwide impact) if you scroll through this blog.
The most important thing to remember is that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You don’t have to save the world alone and you certainly don’t have to deal with your fear alone. There are many other people who feel the same way you do, and even more who are working to make sure that we have a future worth looking forward to. If you can, I really urge you to find a supportive community of other people working to make things better (volunteering is a great way to do this); this can go a long way towards building empowerment and staving off feelings of hopelessness.
I get a lot of asks like this and I wish I could give each and every one of you a hug and look you in the eyes and tell you that it’s going to be ok and that we’ll get through this together. Human societies have faced terrible obstacles with long odds before and come out on the other side. We can do this.
PS If you’re experiencing despair, hopelessness, anxiety, or intrusive thoughts that feel overwhelming and out of your control, please, please reach out to friends and family and seek out psychological resources.
Global strike on the 15th!! Called upon by a Palestinian. This is legit, and they are giving us PLENTY of time to spread the word. This isn’t sudden.
Unfortunately my parents are zionists. I do not think I’ll be able to protest irl. But if you can, DO. And if you’re like me, speak out online and share and spread resources like your life depends on it, because the lives of Palestinians depend on it!
Hey guys so i know most of you have seen my previous posts about my tango with homelessness & my difficulty finding a job after getting fired from starbucks for missing work do to stomach issues. I’m reaching out because although I know we’re all just passing around the same $20, atp anything would help. i get less than $200 on ebt every month & unfortunately it doesnt go far in brooklyn. if anyone has it in their heart to give i would really appreciate it. anyone unable to give i completely understand!

HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE Let’s say it’s 6.15pm and you’re going home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home. Unfortunately you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself..!! NOW HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE… Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again. Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can perhaps buy precious time to get themselves to a phone and dial 911. Rather than sharing another joke please contribute by broadcasting this which can save a person’s life! Be prepared and become part of the solution. Get your free next-of-kin notification card today.

“Disabled ” is a neutral descriptor at worst. It just means we can’t do some things the way other people can, or at all. It’s not an insult, and it doesn’t mean we’re lesser.
Disabled culture is beautiful and wonderful. Disabled people are beautiful and wonderful. We and our worlds are not a misfortune or a consolation prize.
