Fight off hopelessness by seeking out online & offline opportunities to volunteer for community building/community projects/community safety/community food security/community housing/etc. There are many opportunities available in your living communities. There's many ways to contribute if you can't leave your home. If you're feeling hopeless about the state of the world, lending a volunteering hand helps to alleviate & revive hope 🙌❤️ It takes a village. We, global citizens, are the village.

Really happy to report that the food security nonprofit that I'm involved with, LifeCycles Project, has received more grant funding! They contacted me to share that good news & are offering to hire me to do more for the organization on another contract basis! I'm super stoked about this wonderful paid opportunity! It will help me to support myself & my Mom better. I am glowing with gratitude & appreciation ☺️ #GoodNews

Speak up for & defend #WorkerRights #WorkersUnions. Show #solidarity for fellow working class citizens. Be very mean to folks who defend greasy greedy CEOS & upper management brass. They're working class traitors & crapitalist pushers. Tell them what they are & to fuck off 🖕

More of my homegrown red romaine #lettuce. I grow lettuces & some other #SaladGreens year-round here. Some are grown in my DIY greenhouse & others are grown under the deck, in Winter. #FoodSecurity #FoodPlants #FoodGarden #GrowFood #Gardening #food #vegetables #GrowItEatIt #GrowFoodNotLawns #Zone8 #plants #Wsanec #Saanich #VictoriaBC #YYJ #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PNW #ContainerGardening #GrownFromSeed #FreshProduce

I know plenty of people who have no fears of putting themselves into physical life/death situations to get adrenaline fixes & feed their egos. I know plenty of the same kind of fearless with physical adrenaline challenges, who are complete #cowards when it comes to speaking our for #humanity. The same folks don't do anything that's uncomfy or may upset their #StatusQuo lives. They may be fearless in #selfish pursuits. They are absolutely cowards when it comes to bigger than their #ego arenas.
