This comic captures the feeling which is why I #SharGoodNewsToo Many things are terrible, but the year we have a malaria vaccine, a shot that gives 100% HIV protection, & the gigantic solar rollout means global carbon output is finally *falling* not rising, should see a mix of headlines not 100% bad. They want despair; despair stops action. #HopeIsResistance #FixTheNews Despair is how we lose.

@adapalmer i know it's gained meme immortality but it's from one of the few cape comics that i recommend to people who don't care about superheroes too

@adapalmer I came across a really interesting guy (whose site i now can't remember) who was talking about how believing in a narrative was the first step towards making changes, and because we are consistently surrounded by beliefs that things can't change or move forward collectively we don't participate. Anyway, he had a project to tell different stories and to encourage people to believe in a better way of being.

@adapalmer Who are „they”? Do you think there are actors to this or that this is a systems issue?
