And yes, I do little things that bring joy. I spent Saturday afternoon doing crafts with my sister; such deep happiness from that (communal crafting- the best!). Monday we did a “Maize Maze” in a local farm which was beautiful. All this continues to be good. I also do try taking action of course (through work, #GreenParty, etc). It’s just that the underlying bigger picture feels so incredibly bleak,it’s hard to stay cheery.

Loss - the belief in progress and the reality of experiences of loss.

* The role of loss within society
Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one.

"Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."

"Loss is the bread and butter of populism." >>

Report launch: «Sex Workers Navigating Gendered Poverty»

🗓 Monday 30th March
💻 Online 🕓 13:00–14:30 UTC
✍️ https://www.eventbrite.com/e/decrim-now-report-launch-sex-workers-navigating-gendered-poverty-tickets-1983265489467

> Next Monday 30th March, 2-3.30pm, we’ll be hosting an online event to discuss the findings of our autumn 2025 research report on why people go into sex work and remain in it, and what they’d like the government to do to support them.

> We’ll be joined for a panel discussion by colleagues from the English Collective of Prostitutes, National Ugly Mugs, BASIS Yorkshire and Amnesty International UK. We’re looking forward to discussing the current situation for sex workers’ rights in the UK, as well as how the cost of living crisis could be contributing to driving more people, especially women, into sex work.
