Still, God brings hope in the dark for you. ✨

Hope still shines, because God is faithful. 🌟

Every morning, when I get up, the first thing that I do is make the coffee. I see that as my nod toward hope. So, tomorrow morning, despite things feeling upside down and backward in my world at the moment, I will still get up and make the coffee first thing. If nothing else, that will be a good way to start. #HopeInTheDark #GoodNight #RestWell #BeKind #KindnessMatters

God's hope still wins through Jesus, even in darkness. 🌟

It's going to be a busy fall for reading, but here are some title highlights as we meet the autumnal equinox and also honor Hispanic Heritage and Classical Music month!

Though even the update seems out of date now (2015), Solnit's grasp of the breadth of narratives outside of our vision & our obsessiveness with some despairing ones is a healthy and needed perspective.

🌤️ Just wait, better days are on the way.

Some storms take time to pass — but they always do.
Keep going. Hope is never wasted.

🧵
> The idea that people will panic and trample each other in an emergency is largely untrue.. the World Trade Center towers during 9/11.. no one shoved or freaked; they helped one another.. get down the staircases and out of the way of the collapsing buildings. But the idea we will panic has been used as a justification for keeping the public in the dark--it's more or less the idea we're sheep and shepherds should make the decisions for us.

One small good thing this morning: The sun is out in Knoxville, and it’s showing brilliantly through the window behind my recliner. As a result the back of my neck is feeling a lot of warmth. I’m choosing to count this as a ray of hope. #HopeInTheDark

With »Future Screenshots«, @mushon translates the future cone method into a participatory workshop format: participants create possible futures on paper using screenshots, locate them between probable, desirable and avoidable scenarios and use them to jointly develop ideas and strategies for shaping the present!

@Scienceisnotopinions

oh no … what we see promoted by for-profit media is not “humanity”.
every now and then i dip into a book called #HopeInTheDark by #RebeccaSolnit just for some refreshing balance

Good morning!

'Your opponents would love you to believe that it’s hopeless, you have no power, there’s no reason to act, you can’t win. #Hope is a #gift you don’t have to surrender, a #power you don’t have to throw away.' ~ #RebeccaSolnit, forward to #HopeInTheDark

I talk a lot about hope, #encouragement, & #perseverance. 😄​ It matters. We all need to know we are not alone, that someone is cheering us on, & we can do big things, both alone & esp together. #KeepGoing 💪​

"This is an extraordinary time full of vital, transformative movements that could not be foreseen. It is also a nightmarish time. Full engagement requires the ability to perceive both." -Rebecca Solnit in a 2016 Guardian piece that still rings true, as does her book Hope in the Dark. Read A Paradise Built in Hell, too. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/jul/15/rebecca-solnit-hope-in-the-dark-new-essay-embrace-unknown #hope #activism #protesr #RebeccaSolnit #ClimateCrisis #HumanRights #anticapitalism #capitalism #HopeInTheDark #AParadiseBuiltInHell

From Rebecca Solnit's FB post:

.> This is the kind of thing I have in mind when I scratch out the parts of the speaking contracts I'm handed that demand rights in all technologies now existing and yet to be invented and infinite varieties of ownership of whatever I say and do and my appearance, etc. I don't want to be digitally digested into whatever's useful for some profiteer. I signed a contract this spring where I basically scratched out everything in it and then signed it and no one blinked, because the cannibals who write this shit are not the people who hand it to you.

This morning by the pond on #juneteenth White calls for acceptance and affection. It’s uplifting spirit and encouraging essence reminds us to feel our love for everyone. To those who have been so violently and pervasively hurt and disrespected, I send this to express my hope that you can in this moment feel appreciated and valued. #love #iris #hope #HopeInTheDark #white

@tultican Basic needs, like health care, tax credits, loan forgiveness, clean water, transportation, local decision-making, equal rights, wealth distribution, etc.? It seems pretty crazy to not work here first, but we can't make headway without a social investment in the commons. And we can't get there if we don't have platforms that connect us all to each other. #education #socialpolicy #community #listening #commons #propaganda #hopeinthedark
