Easing my way back into the #Doomposting (and boy, there's a lot of #DoomAndGloom out there). I did spend some quality time at the ##MétisOfMaine #PowWow today, and made some new friends -- including a fellow Two-Spirit person, who recognized that I, too, was one. We talked about what to wear when dancing (they were wearing both a ribbon shirt and a ribbon skirt). I mentioned that I felt called to wear a ribbon shirt (with pants), but also use a shawl -- because as a Diindiisi (Ojibwe word for "Blue Jay"), I needed wings when dancing. They totally understood where I was coming from. Hung out with a talented seamstress (a different one than the one who made my shawl), and talked to her about decorating my shawl with Blue Jay colors, along with the Métis symbol, and she should have the work done by the next PowWow. Psyched!

Also, I, too, am guilty of doing this exact same thing. And someone pointed it out, and I realized that I was being an asshole. After some deep self-examination of my own values, I realized that despite my #Doomposting, part of me still has hope that a better world is possible -- which is why I started #SolarPunkSunday. If you've given up, I get that. But please don't hate on others who haven't. Mute the hashtag, mute my account -- but don't be an asshole. After all, who is the REAL enemy? It sure ain't the folks who dare to have hope -- despite the odds! #TheOddsAreNeverInOurFavor
Well, that wraps up today's #SolarPunkSunday ! A special shout out to @MaQuest, @BrambleBearGrrrauwling, and @CycleWR for participating! Join us next Sunday! Now, back to #Doomposting and the news...
Alrighty then. That about wraps up this week's #SolarPunkSunday . Tune in next week! Now, back to #DoomPosting and fighting #Fascism !
Easing back into the #DoomPosting. Re-posting earlier #SolarpunkSunday posts, then I'll focus on #MayDay protests in Maine, NH, and elsewhere! Then updates on breaking news of the fascist takeover(s) going on -- and resistance against them!
So, I'll be re-tooting some #SolarPunkSunday articles again later in the day, but now I'm going to shift gears and post about a related topic -- #NativeAmericanFood and #NativeAmericanFoodSovereignty. I've been wanting to post these for a while, and I figure Sunday is a good day for that -- since I'm consciously taking a break from the #DoomPosting for a bit (that will resume at around 6pm EDT).
Back to the #DoomPosting. But thanks to @MaQuest for participating, and @BrambleBearGrrrauwling (and everyone else) for the boosts! We'll be back next Sunday for another #SolarPunkSunday !
So, that's about it for this week's #SolarPunkSunday. Transitioning to some articles about #Degrowth and #AntiCapitalism before getting back into full-on #DoomPosting (and boy there's a lot of #DoomAndGloom out there). Thanks to everyone who boosted my posts, and chimed in!
Alrighty then. The #DoomPosting can wait for a few hours. Time for #SolarPunkSunday !
So, things to look forward to here at @DoomsdaysCW... A special #FridayNightMusicVideos / #FridayNightMusic night full of #RevolutionRock (inspired by #WMPG DJs), and #SolarPunkSunday . I may post some pics of Sophie for #Caturday too. Stay tuned, folks. I'm more than just #Doomposting! (Sometimes...)
So, what does "DoomsdaysCW" mean? Well, my nickname since high school has been "Doomsday", and years ago on FB, I started a parody account called, "Doomsday's Conspiracy Watch." Except then #Fukushima nuclear accident happened, and, well, I realized there was a big conspiracy -- covering up how much radiation was released! The account then became focused on coverups, and when I moved over to the BirdSite in 2014, I shortened the name to DoomsdaysCW. Here on Mastodon, I'm realizing that a lot of what I post SHOULD have a CW, but doesn't. So yeah. Now "DoomsdaysCW" is "Doomsday's Content Warning"! You have been warned!

Overwhelmed with the #doomposting? (Yes, even Doomsday over here needs a break). Take a walk in nature (ideal), but if you're stuck indoors, create a list of artists, photographers, cartoonists, etc. Anything that make you smile! And then visit your list when you need a break!

Back to the #Doomposting. What the heck is going on with the #ToxicFog allegedly appearing in the US, UK and Canada? Some reports claim #Drones are involved. Stay tuned... 👁️
So, FYI... If you're here for just #Doomposting, you might want to mute me on Sundays. Unless there's breaking news, I'll be focusing on #SolarPunkSunday and posting about solutions and hope -- and ways we can build #resiliency and #community. #PostCapitalism #Degrowth #CircularEconomy #GreenLiving #FoodSecurity #BuildingCommunity
I hope folks enjoyed today's #SolarPunkSunday. I'll be back at it again next week. Feel free to send me accounts to follow and articles to share, or better yet, use the hashtag and I'll boost you! I'll be updating the lists either next week or the week after, since I've found more good accounts to follow! And now, back to the #Doomposting...
It is going to be hard to avoid #DoomPosting today, but I'm going to do it -- at least for most of the day? We'll see... But yes, it's another #SolarPunkSunday. And I'll also be posting some diet news and some DIY stuff as well.
Alrighty then. I'll be spending the next few hours focusing on #SolarPunkSunday before returning to my usual #DoomPosting. Stay tuned...! 🌞 🌿
@FediFollows while you're at it, do you have a #Doomscrolling / #Doomposting category? If so, count me in!
I am going to attempt to dedicate Sundays to #SilentSunday images and posts about #RenewableEnergy -- you might call them #SolarSundays. Trying to take a break from all the #DoomPosting -- but, you know, if there's breaking news, I might have to shift gears. I hope some folks are into it. I think we could all use some good news and timeline cleanses once in a while.
