Tips For Defying The End Of The World.

front page of a zine called 'Tips for defying the end of the world (from people who were right before)'. there's doodles of speech bubbles and lightning bolts
In 2000 (when I was 8), I heard about 2012. [caps lock with lightning bolts around it] THE END OF THE WORLD. [end caps lock]. I curled up by the radiator and I sobbed. What was the point? why go to school if I was gonna die at 20 anyway? But my mum came in and said, [text in a speech bubble next to a picture of me in the corner, curled up by the radiator.], "But what if the world doesn't end? What if you live? Then, if you quit now, you'll have to catch up". [end speech bubble.] And I persisted. And I didn't die.
And when I was real depressed one time, I told my doctor how overwhelming it felt to try to fix all the world's problems when I'm just one person. Activist burnout. And he said, [text in a speech bubble next to a picture of my doctor speaking to me], You ARE just one person. So you can't fix it all. But you can pick small things in your small radius, and start working on the small wins instead. [end speech bubble]. And he was right. I've done so much more with less stress since then.
And now, I look after some folk who are younger than me. They also fear the future. They fear politicians, and they fear hatred, and they fear climate change. They're burnt out.
But what if it works out? What if small changes today make tomorrow better?
Hope is a tool. Hope is a weapon. Hope is a plant we must nurture.
[There's a plant drawn dividing the page]
Even if things go wrong, we can at least say we tried. But we hope for more. Because if we can picture it, we can work towards it.

. . . So Basically, Skipper's Love Language Is Making You Sweat Until You Pass Out

. . . So basically, Skipper's love language is making you sweat until you pass out

before i sleep does anyone ever think about that scene where the Vesuvius twins kidnap Skipper and the last thing Kowalski says to him is "i love you" as he watches him get taken away. he's never said that before has he. it's like tough love for them, Skipper doesn't go easy on him, keeping him sharp as a lieutenant. Neither is Kowalski open about his admiration/respect. They've probably never said those words to each other before. but in that scene...
