Three birthday requests:
1) Ask your library to buy a copy of a work on your anticipated reading list for 2023. It makes a huge difference for the author!
2) Read local news, & apprise yourself of local needs. Get to know the difference-makers close to home!
3) Be kind to yourselves, today and always. Only then are we best prepared to seek justice where we can. ❤️
We are "spending money we don't have" because you asshats keep cutting taxes for the wealthy and corporations. #justsayin

Hope all #CoSoNauts everywhere are warm, safe, fed, and feeling the love and respect they're owed.
If you're in ALL the above camps, then this year I ask that you 'reach down,' and seek to help others' attain similar places of comfort and agency. This is not a knock, it's an acknowledgement of your position to help.
Build patterns that uplift; break the ones that urge 'kicking down.'
It's never the fault of the impoverished, nor will exercising your #Compassion deprive you of anything.
So. A Christmas story.
Xmas morning, I go out to buy a faucet part. In front of my building, a young shirtless man is lying on the ground, arms outstretched and crying. Standing over him: two police officers, two women with big dogs from my building complex, & a security guard I know is tough on beggars. The man is weeping "Venezuelans are humans." My heart sinks. Five adults clearly escalated what could have been handled with a little compassion. (And on a day everyone goes on about, too!) /x

Hey you. Yeah, you, staring at the brim of that familiar old downward spiral.
You've been down there before. You know it's no fun.
Find something that will bring you joy. Doesn't have to be anything big, just has to be something better. Watch a familiar old movie that you love. Throw on a righteous album. Put Candy Crush on your phone and play that again. Anything to stop that harmful old cycle from starting up again. 💚

Bif Naked - Moment Of Weakness
Stolen from the tweeter:
Did anyone have “watch #ElonMusk inadvertently assist #GretaThunberg to entrap #AndrewTate into revealing his Bucharest hideaway so that the Romanian police could arrest him & his brother for running a crime syndicate based on the exploitation of women” on their #2022bingocard ?
This time last week, I'd never heard of Andrew Tate. Now thanks to #GretaThunberg I have experienced peak Schadenfreude.
