For anybody who needs support to stop spiralling these days, here is my current favourite active meditation practice for lefties. Kristianna Smith aka Mocha Einstein offers "Grieve, Ground, Imagine, Strategize". Gently redirect that anxiety spiral into forward momentum.

#Musk can't believe he drove advertisers away from #X / #Twitter by turning it into the #hellscape he saw as a risk and promised to avoid.
So he's suing them. Their departure must be an illegal conspiracy.

In her defense of the lawsuit, company president #Yaccarino says that advertising is essential to any platform that will function as a public square. That's 180° wrong.
#Trump #MAGA #GOP #billionaires have created this judicial #hellscape from which there is no exit - #SupremeCourt Rocked by New #Leak of Bitter #Abortion Split. A months-long internal feud among the justices over a key case about #abortion access in #Idaho has been leaked—the latest internal communication to escape the high court. #democracy #civilliberties #courts #SCOTUS #constitution #corruption #ethics #WomenRights #justice #paytoplay #womenshealthcare #healthcare https://www.thedailybeast.com/supreme-court-rocked-by-new-leak-on-bitter-split-over-idaho-emergency-abortion-ruling
Clearly they didn't go to the Langford Costco.

Putting aside the greenhouse effect of concrete floors,
And the implied allegations that indigenous cultures had no education going,
and that libertarian economic progress is the only game in town,
how do we replace the 'rocket to the moon' phrase with,
"not hell-scaping the biosphere"
?
Our current education may have given us the means,
but the 'stop climate change' rocket needs launching now.
And maybe we'll still miss the 1.5 degree launch window.
Hanging out in annoyingly mild 63° weather, looking at this hideous sky, while listening to the racket of foghorns, in this hellscape known as San Francisco.

@fredy I tell you it's a #hellscape
These Scientists Spent Decades Pushing NASA to Go Back to #Venus. Now They’re on a Hot Streak.
Our next-door planet is similar to #Earth in size and composition, but extreme conditions made Venus a #hellscape. Devoted researchers want to know what caused their wildly divergent paths.
by Megan I. Gannon
"The spacecraft would launch around 2029 and drop a parachute-equipped, aeroshell-protected spherical probe that would sail through the cloud cover. Using spectrometers similar to the ones developed for the chemistry lab aboard Curiosity, it would measure inert gases like krypton and xenon (think of them like fossils of the early processes that formed Venus’ atmosphere) as well as hydrogen isotopes, which could determine when and at what rates the planet lost the #oceans it is suspected to have had in its early history.
"That water-loss data would be hugely important. Michael Way, a physical scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, and his colleagues produced models in 2016 suggesting Venus not only had #water before Earth did but also was covered in a shallow #ocean for some 3 billion years. Those findings have energized researchers and revived the image of a wet world, at least in its past. 'You put that 3 billion years of water on Venus next to the 300 million years that Mars had water and you realize that if we’ve been looking for signs of life somewhere else in our own solar system, maybe we’ve been barking up the wrong tree,' says Dyar."
Yesterday, MPP Kinga Surma spoke to media to justify the glass-enclosed #Therme waterpark & "spa" and her proposed destruction of the waterfront beach and park on the #OntarioPlace West Island:
“mostly people just walk here or cycle… because there’s nothing to do.”
The beach will be destroyed, but "here we have stones, beautifully placed"
"You never change things by fighting existing #reality. To change something, build a new #model that makes the existing model #obsolete." – #BuckminsterFuller
For me, this is truly helpful, giving me a way to think about our current #global #realities and consider ways to ameliorate public complacence and our ever-quickening descent into an #apocalyptic #hellscape.
I'm sure others have stated much the same, or better, but this came up in a #YouTube #video I'm watching and I needed this, now.
I'm so angry right now lol fuck #capitalism. we live in a #dystopian #hellscape.
