I thought about switching platforms* but then I thought, why reinvent the wheel? So here we are, back at the old Blogger, working to strengthen community in a time that we desperately need it. Getting back on the old blogging platform feels strange but what about 2025 doesn't feel strange right now? I'll post links to these posts on Facebook** and BlueSky (@hungryandthinking) since most people have stopped using RSS feeds (I still use Feedly to track new posts from blogs that I follow; I check it about once a week and then I don't have to worry about missing a new post. The free version works fine).
As always, I'm going to share a mishmash of stuff here, though mostly it'll be devoted to staying sane and ideas for keeping your shit together. That might include:
- joy focused posts: things that might help you nourish your body (recipes!) or nourish your brain (books! podcasts! ideas!) because fiercely protecting your joy (knitting! walks in the woods!) is a facet of having the energy necessary to participate in the resistance
- political actions: I'm not going to reproduce work that other people are doing better, but will try to connect people to those who are doing it and share some ideas about how to keep from going down the doom spiral of helplessness.
