The title may sound weird. I initially wrote it as "fuck over the billionaires". But it is not only billionaires, but also multi-millionaires and people who think themselves hierarchically superior.

So:

  • Are you doing something to fuck over "the powerful"? If so, what?

I'm loving those around me and feeling empathy for everyone on the planet even harder. They can throw me in a concentration camp or kill me, but they can't make me not love.

But I do. And spending time doing that takes away from any time they'd rather have me panicking and spiraling.

Fair enough. Keep going, friend.

Thank you, you too 💜

Caring about your neighbours and spending time with them is literally the first step to creating a better world. The powers that be most definitely do care about community resilience because it makes them harder to control.

Share tools with your neighbours. Borrow a carving knife, lend a pitchfork, share the pike that impales billionaires.
