"Generally speaking, I think it takes a special kind of gall to assume that what a desperate world needs is your particular spin on giving up." organizingmythoughts.org/declining-in...

“We need more people highlighting solutions, practicing care, bracing for impacts together, and naming the openings we might push through—which is why the public broadcast of doom and despair deserves scrutiny right now. Pessimism is not foresight, and despair is not a synonym for political clarity. Not because people are obligated to be cheerful, but because resignation, transmitted as a factual conclusion, becomes an invitation to surrender.” - Kelly Hayes
