Can we start a radical optimism thread? Because I need a #radical optimism thread. And I think you need a #radicaloptimism thread.

News. Quotes. Music. Thoughts. Whatever.

I'll start:

"You have to act as if it were possible to radically transform the world. And you have to do it all the time." --Angela Davis

If this gets any traction, please boost, especially the replies. You and I are not the only ones that need this right now.

Just flipped over to another platform and immediately saw this right after posting this about #radicaloptimism

@revoluciana I hope this is the kind of thing you are looking for:

I've been practicing vegetable gardening (as opposed to vaguely remembering the theory of it) since slightly before the pandemic started, and landscaping with native plants since before that. I have met lots of neighbors while out in the yard, and we have been pet sitting for each other, swapping vegetables and entire plants, taking folks' yard waste in for composting, and so on. It is small but good, and I like it!
