#MissKitty does not require hope to continue. She has gone past #hopelessness. It's a lie also. Just like delusional #grandiosity. Neither one of them matches #reality. I can't explain ultimately why #duty is so important, but it is what I have done as well as possible and use it as my guide.

Day23: … very mixed feelings: gratitude that I am “here & now”: alive, being taken care of… & desperation that I am not where I want to be: in Lika!

This view reminds me of #LikaLodge !

The cows remind me of my “cowboy”…

Barbed wire reminds me of the “human condition” under capitalism : we are all imprisoned by the consumption machine, that keeps us away from simple joys of nature …

I'm going to repost you just because it's a useful foil to say that you're wrong. History says over and over that you're absolutely incorrect. #Hopelessness is a #habit of #minds. It's not #truth. There's no truth in a mind and you're not going to catch up to that for a long time. Think positive.

A quotation from Thoreau

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 1 “Economy” (1854)

A quotation from Eric Hoffer

To have a grievance is to have a purpose in life. A grievance can almost serve as a substitute for hope; it not infrequently happens that those who hunger for hope give their allegiance to him who offers them a grievance.

Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 166 (1955)

Standing on #Maine’s #overpasses, #protesters combat #hopelessness

Part of a growing national movement, local members of the #VisibilityBrigade set up on a #FalmouthME overpass each week to protest the actions of the Trump administration.

by John Terhune, September 24, 2025

Excerpt: "Over the last six months, the small but growing collective has been gathering on the Lunt Road overpass, armed each week with a fresh slogan and a deep arsenal of flags, signs and eye-catching accessories.

“SUPPORT OUR VETS.”
“DUE PROCESS FOR ALL.”
“SAVE MEDICARE.”

"The highway overpass is, admittedly, an imperfect medium for political discourse. The group’s weekly messages must be short and simple enough for speeding drivers to catch before they race by. Commuters’ responses can’t offer much more nuance than a quick honk of appreciation or a middle finger out the window.

"But the Visibility Brigade isn’t really setting out to change hearts or minds anyway, the group’s leaders say. That task, if it’s possible at all in an increasingly polarized America, is beyond anything they can accomplish from the side of the road. Instead, their goal is to reassure the quietly despondent that they aren’t alone, one wave at a time.

" 'It takes away the powerless feeling,' said Pamela Fischer. 'We want to make this light and positive and welcoming.' "

"Details emerge about #horses killed in Russian attack on #Kyiv"

3 #Shahed #drones, aimed on purpose at an #equestrian facility

I've seen the pictures. Heartbreaking. I will spare you

Why kill horses?

#Ukraine aims at oil pipelines and refineries

#Russia aims at hospitals and apartments. And horses

To break Ukraine's will

To spread #despondency, #hopelessness, #cynicism

To aim for the heart

#Terrorism

Russia doesn't understand how it backfires

An authentic #mentor w/ a #fatherly heart brings hope, promise & possibility into a man's life; one lacking a fatherly heart brings #hopelessness & #despair, #aggression & #scapegoating. #Violence follows. And sheep-like crowds that do whatever the all-knowing father proposes. https://bit.ly/4oCik1T

A quotation from Euripides

CHORUS: Come away, dear ones, come away.
   To the camp, to the place of the ships, to the sea,
   To the strange new life of slavery,
   For all are the slaves of Destiny.
 
[ΧΟΡΟΣ: ἴτε πρὸς λιμένας σκηνάς τε, φίλαι,
   τῶν δεσποσύνων πειρασόμεναι
   μόχθων: στερρὰ γὰρ ἀνάγκη.]

Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Hecuba [Hekabe; Ἑκάβη], l. 1293ff (c. 424 BC) [tr. Sheppard (1924)]

A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

   You can never be too cautious in your prognosis, in the view of the great uncertainty of the course of any disease not long watched, and the many unexpected turns it may take.
   I think I am not the first to utter the following caution : —
   Beware how you take away hope from any human being. Nothing is clearer than that the merciful Creator intends to blind most people as they pass down into the dark valley. Without very good reasons, temporal or spiritual, we should not interfere with his kind arrangements. It is the height of cruelty and the extreme of impertinence to tell your patient he must die, except you are sure that he wishes to know it, or that there is some particular cause for his knowing it. I should be especially unwilling to tell a child that it could not recover; if the theologians think it necessary, let them take the responsibility. God leads it by the hand to the edge of the precipice in happy unconsciousness, and I would not open its eyes to what he wisely conceals.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
Speech (1859-03-10), Valedictory Address, Harvard University School of Medicine

Reading the news these days while also watching the (fantastic) TV series M - Son of the Century about Mussolini is chilling and honestly makes me lose all hope in humanity.

A quotation from Ambrose Bierce

PATIENCE, n. A minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue.

Today I’m feeling especially sad, so here’s a photo of Earl resting in the sun for those feeling the same.

(I keep swirling around, moving from sorrow to rage to loathe. The cycle is exhausting. At least if we know we’re in this together, it feels less lonely.)

Foolishness? No, It’s Not, #MaryOliver

Sometimes I spend all day trying to count
the leaves on a single #tree. To do this I
have to climb branch by branch and
write down the numbers in a little book.
So I suppose, from their point of view,
it’s reasonable that my friends say: what
foolishness! She’s got her head in the clouds
again.

But it’s not. Of course I have to give up,
but by then I’m half crazy with the wonder
of it — the #abundance of the leaves, the
#quietness of the branches, the #hopelessness
of my effort. And I am in that #delicious
and important place, roaring with #laughter,
full of #earthpraise.

#Black adults with #longCOVID report higher levels of #hopelessness and #suicidalthoughts − new research

By conforming to the #Democratic and #Republican #Parties wish that you wholeheartedly #Hate one of the parties, you actively support the #Gridlock and #Hopelessness that characterises #US #Politics and makes it unique in a very negative way.
The hate is completely impotent and doesn't and can't, lead to any positive change, which is exactly what the ruling #Oligarchy wants.

@RoundSparrow @suqdiq so, try directing people to the non-fiction bits instead of op-eds and see if that helps?

You're generally a happy person right?

I encourage anyone having a tough time of it and approaching the point of #hopelessness to call their #crisis #management center.

I finally actually heard Kamala speak and it was not a pleasant experience. I think the democrats are looking for a George Bush like figure who will seem to be in over their heads so that their brutal military actions will be easier to take. We have accepted our continued decline in living standards even as productivity gains in all areas should have translated into much better lives. #KamalaHarris #democrats #election #news #hopelessness #decline

I'm starting the laptop up with the aim of getting an #ElderlyRelative a #ReplacementPensionerConcessionCard.

Previous experiences with the #MyGovWebsite and the #ServicesAustraliaWebsite have trained me up such that I now have a sense of #Futility and #Hopelessness.

As for the websites' designers and the shit-level standards of the website-design industry - thuggish creeps.
