I have said this before, but it's worth repeating: in times of crisis it is easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of outrages that call for your attention. Pick your issue. Pick the corner of the world that you are going to defend and fight for that. If you try to fight everything all the time, you will burn out real fast.

I have a really strong "can do" attitude, but I have an even stronger "won’t do" attitude.

I hope this e-mail… doesn’t find you.

I hope you escaped the corporate life.

I hope you bought that hectare of land.

I hope your crops are thriving.

I hope your crafts bring joy.

I hope you found peace between the deep blue sea and high blue sky.

I hope at night a million stars blanket your slumber, and every dawn reveals new wonders.

I hope.

Four Torridon squares. Lichens on sandstone, glacier-polished quartzite, beach, Caledonian forest.

Yes, I'm procrastinating. Yes, I should get on with one of my many tasks.

Map lichens from bright gold to dark brown on flat rock.Quartzite rock, white with a scattering of delicate yellows, oranges, pinks and blues, polished smooth by an ancient glacier. A black crack wiggles across it from top to bottom.Ripples in beach sand at low tide, accentuated by low evening sun.Woodland growing on a rocky slope. Dark Scots pine contrasts with bright green spring foliage of birch.

Down on yourself for being lazy? Just remember the Greeks believed their gods lived atop a very hikeable mountain and no one went to check.

Support Road Work (by u/-LewdNinja-)
(AI Alt-Text)

A cartoon shows a road construction scene. On the left, an orange diamond-shaped road sign reads "END ROAD WORK." In the center, two construction workers wearing yellow hard hats and orange safety vests are standing on a road. One has a beard; both look at each other. Behind them, on green grass, a woman with brown hair kneels, holding a sign that says "SUPPORT ROAD WORK!" A speech bubble from the bearded worker says, "I'D EXPLAIN IT TO HER, BUT FRANKLY WE COULD USE THE MORALE BOOST." The lower right corner includes the text "@COMICSWITHAK".
