Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point

- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

Wait for better methods to work? How much more do you need to see before you understand that things are getting worse over time? How many environmental scientists need to explain yet again that the world is going to be inhospitable if we don't make a massive change - while virtually all major sources of pollution are increasing year over year?
This isn't the time to sit around and wait for things to inexplicably start getting better, it's the time to fight for the slim chance that we can turn things around before it's too late. And that fight is a literal one - there is no way to get those in power to stop exploiting our society and our world for profits than to physically stop them by whatever means we can.
