Even if it end up being kicked over in the end, every bit of help at the moment you give it and the moment you built it meant something and continues to mean something.

It's really horrible, all of it, but it doesn't mean your actions get discounted.

Definitely depressing, what's happening right now. And if you only stay in depression land that's impressive. But yeah. Your actions don't mean nothing just because some fuckers fuck things up even more.

Your not-so-little actions matter more than you imagine.

It's easy to despair. But when you look at how things have changed for the better during the last few centuries - I mean, how much less injustice is tolerated, in overall terms - we can see that those people are not bringers of a new, more rigid and cruel world order, but on the contrary, they are so violent and toxic because they know that their world order is crumbling. And ultimately, they will lose.

Well, look around and see those who speak up and do something, like you do. Wave and smile, you're never alone.

That's all that matters. Everything else will sort itself out.

Hey mate. I totally get what you're saying. But whenever things feel *completely* fucking hopeless, I try to take comfort in the fact that I'd much rather die fighting a losing battle than die in shame.

Take care, and thank you.

hang in there @aral

you are helping lots, and you're helping some of us who see that you're helping as ww're hanging on to scraps of hope

First, do no harm.

Chin up, mate. We know you care ❤️

Right, sorry about that. Clearly it gets to me too sometimes. Thank you so much for your kind and loving words.

It’s a new morning so I’ll tell myself what I tell others: we focus on what we can change and we do our best to not let the things we can’t change stop us from working on the ones we might be able to.

The little things matter. The little things add up (thank you for reminding me that).

Here’s to making things better together. One small step at a time.

Now, there’s work to do…
