Everyday Acts of Care as Resistance in Our Communities

https://dreamspacestudio.net/everyday-acts-of-care-as-resistance-in-our-communities/

Modern culture often treats pain as a private problem to be solved.

Another orientation recognises pain as shared knowing, shaped by the world we’re moving through together. The Dusty Dimmer Switch isn’t about erasing feeling — it’s about lowering the glare, introducing space, and remembering that what we feel is not ours alone.

There’s a quiet relief in remembering that responsibility can be shared.

The scale of change we’re living through is real — but it was never meant to land on individual shoulders alone. When everything feels personal, exhaustion follows. When responsibility is shared, something else becomes possible.

This line makes room for collective steadiness instead of private overwhelm.

The Galactic Mermaid Federation is seeking members of the Cosmic Being Alliance for its Discord/Telegram Community servers. How to know if you are part of the Cosmic Being Alliance?

This is you if you think far out, and feel too deep. If you're into coloring, wondering out loud, mermaids, science, space, the ocean, and/or community. The Galactic Mermaid Federation is hosting spaces where you can get free coloring pages, discuss the little things about life that make things beautiful, get occasional gentle reflective and creativity prompts, and is meant to be a communal space for art and curiosity.

You must be familiar with either Discord or Telegram. Want the link to the star path that'll take you there? Let me know. #mermaids #coloring #adultcoloring #space #arttherapy #communitybuilding #collectivecare #galacticmermaids

I wrote a post about creating hope and like most of my writing it's free. What do you think about hope and how we create it? Would love to have a conversation about it if you'd like.
