@conranimal oooo this is a great idea! I need exactly this. Lil pre-made bags of everything for a smoothie chopped up and frozen and ready to just dump and blend.
I lean on smoothies a lot right now, but when I crash just putting all the ingredients together is beyond my chuff, just when I need the lazy nutrition most.

Neighbours could do community kitchen events where they set up smoothie satchels en mass, freeze and distribute to those who need 'em.

Ok, real talk here folks. If you're watching the world fall apart and feeling helpless, lost as to any meaningful action you could take, especially with your own limitations... 👉 Check in with your neighbours. Reach out into your community. And I mean frickin REACH. Every chronically ill, marginalized, disabled, housing insecure person I know is floundering. Mostly invisibly. We're exhausted. It takes so much energy to articulate a need, and too often... 🦗 We need community. 🧵

☝️ooooo I may have had a brilliant idea. While I don't think society is ready for us to just scream from our rooftops, I think there is room for a #fediScreamParty where we share moments screaming into a pillow (can even share short selfie vids).
Suggested logistics:
1) Pillow scream @ 7pm local time
2) set specific time like #monsterdon
3) just use the tag to drop in and scream as needed
4) do all the things
Cast yer votes! (and 🔄 for reach)

☝️ok ok, hear me out...

Remember when the pandemic first started and everybody went outside at 7pm to make noise and cheer on frontline workers?

What if, at 7pm, we all went out on our balconies and porches and front steps and just fekkin screamed for five minutes.

I think it could really bring the community together.

This is your random reminder existential terror is a group project.
Set aside an hour or so to freak the fuck out, then take a break and get on with the rest of your life while others take their turn.

I think people underestimate the medicinal value of hope.

There's a whole lotta "hoo! not this!" going on in the world, and it matters if you can also say: "but, maybe ..this?"

Something to rest your mind on while you get through everything else. And baby step your way towards whenever you find an opening.

I have recently learned, in difficult times there are basically two kinds of people:
1) those who lash out
2) those who reach out

I am super keen on one of those groups, and super keen on avoiding the other.

In other news, the pattern on this steam vent looks like the emoji for:
I just opened my third eye and.... OH GOD THE HUMANITY!

@RickiTarr we have a rota for that now. You can take a break, I'm doing a shift. 💙

I wonder if we could organize some sort of rota for existential dread. Like I can worry about *waves hand at everything* for an hour, and then take a break and let someone else do the worrying for a while. #teamApocalypse
