Now more than ever we gotta show up for the causes we care about!!! Online reposting and presence is good but it doesn't get the full job done unless we show up and show out!!!! Show up to your city/town hall meetings and be an active participant if you are able, bc if we don't speak IRL we don't exist

Spend your nights anxious about which way the town is going? Actually do something to change it! Being in the US right now, I feel sometimes powerless to all the shit politicians/ corporations/ etc. are pulling. However, the only way to beat that terrible feeling is to actually do the work to make the world a better place. By being involved in local government/ groups/ initiatives, even if it’s super annoying and reeks of bureaucracy, you can at least say you tried. There’s also the benefit of meeting people who also care about things (like increasing arts funding or whatever) and probably share other interests too.

everyone is talking about activism, but imo the best way to destroy the system is from within. if you live in a small town like me, joining a municipal or county board can be the thing that makes actual change, not just protests. those are good too tho.

join local clubs! go to street markets! and free concerts! volunteer! go and do things you do in your home, but outside! i feel like the post-covid world feels so isolating, but those community spaces are open and inviting if we take advantage of them :) and when you see your neighbors, it’s so much easier to ally with them. community starts on the streets

I have to disagree with the people who say that we need to “stay” and “fight“ for IG to be a better platform because in actuality, it’s our presence and engagement that gives them data, and therefore money. As long as they have those 2 things, they make their bottom line and won’t really care about its users desires unless they’re making a move for the optics.
If we REALLY want to hold them accountable, we need to impact the money they make, which means permanently deleting or marking your account as inactive & never coming back. They’ll only care if they’re bleeding money— so make them bleed.

As someone who has terrible object permanence and can NEVER remember the existence of something if I can't see it (this includes objects AND goals), it was quite literally the best way to keep awareness of my long term goals, even when life started falling apart and getting hectic.
At the end of the year I always look at my vision board and realize that I genuinely fulfilled a good majority of the goals on there, and it's so sweet
Always keep your eyes on the prize yall and always dare to dream !!!
