Books, e-books, library of things, games, reading clubs, meeting spaces, computer access, community; libraries are an amazing resource and pillar of healthy communities.
Taking care of my needs, working in the gardens, keeping my body and mind healthy. Creating/nurturing community with similar goals in mind. I train martial arts, walk my dog, work on professional well being, train in firearms and trauma/emergency medicine.
I read a lot of books, the majority of which are sci-fi which opens my mind to potential and keeps me future oriented. I also enjoy post-apocalyptic books and stories to better mentally prepare by considering my skillsets, what I'm lacking and how to either learn or compensate my skills through community and neighbors.
I don't dwell on the bad, I consider how I can make it better through the small steps and impacts I can control.
Personally yes I am ready. I’ve been preparing since the 90s.
Ofc I’m not prepared for everything and there’s quite a lot on precipice that I have no control over.
I’ve had moments of fear in my life BUT I do not dwell on them. I understand that most emotional responses can be chosen and know how to channel those emotions in a healthy way.
I use those moments and emotions as opportunities for change and action.
No point whatsoever in feeling scared or fearful. Let tht awful feeling be a springboard to action, preparation and community building.
Do something today, plan what you’re going to do tomorrow. Collaborate, train and keep learning. Focus on your health and the health of those around you.
Hopefully there will be a war in the party. The people must oust every centrist and corporate shill and replace with people who want actual change.
The status quo has degraded and this massive corruption and gap between the wealthy and the majority of us is only growing more extreme.
Supposedly the people have the power. We need action now. Let the Dems be scared. Fuck them all. Primary them out and retake the power we are entitled.
The spoils of war and sole reason for the invasion of Iraq.
Of fuxking course Trump re-upped it.
