You are allowed to find moments of joy, even in all the horror. Joy is not a prize for getting through it all, it is an important tool to *enable* us to get through this. Joy itself is an act of resistance, so look for the joys. Small ones, big ones-doesn't matter. Find them, embrace them, let them comfort you, let them fuel you.

@CosmicCollective That’s right, you’re not obligated to be miserable until the world is perfect.

@BototmnisShorter true that, and joy in itself is an important motivator to keep going, and help make things better.

@FranceskaMann this is great for people that are able. It's also important to remember that not everyone is in the position to do that for a variety of reasons(disability being one of them), and that there are many other ways to support too.
-
@FranceskaMann again, not all people are able to do these things. Those that are able, sure. There are *many* ways to support
-
@scattershot brilliant! Cheering you on🥰
-
@FranceskaMann @CosmicCollective A larger point is that a person’s worth is not based on “what have you done for me lately” and living up to someone else’s idea of what you are and are not capable of.
Your fixation on one particular contribution is obscuring these larger, more important ideas.

@CosmicCollective You have permission to enjoy your life. Joy helps us keep balance in such unbalanced times.

@CosmicCollective I'm calling nonsense. Anger has always been the best motivation for change.
What you said sounds nice, but that's it. -

What you said sounds nice, but that's it.@valentina_antifa_73 and where exactly did I say "Never be angry" or "anger isn't valid" in my post? Anger can certainly also be motivation, and moments of joy are also important(as is rest etc).

@CosmicCollective
I love the joyIsResistance hashtag a lot. -

What you said sounds nice, but that's it.@valentina_antifa_73 @CosmicCollective Think about what kind of person finds talk of joy offensive. Is that a person others can work with, or even want to be around?
Maybe you’d be more effective if you made seated your consumption of ragehol.

@CosmicCollective ABSOLUTELY!
Joy grants mental resilience. It buffers grief.

@RiaResists yes indeed. It's necessary.
@CosmicCollective Sooo true! If you can’t laugh thru all the difficult times that being alive will serve up you are in for a hard slog. @RiaResists
