“TO BE HOPEFUL in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.
What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.

Dear #Fediverse:
Given the news in the last few days, I am encountering a lot of people who are seeking out #MentalHealth resources and #SelfCare techniques.
Can you help me add to the list? What resources do you recommend for people seeking mental health help?
How do you take care of yourself in tough times?
The first link is to a PDF flyer with a QR code for
WHO's "Doing What Matters in Times of Stress: An Illustrated Guide" (How to unhook from difficult thoughts and feelings),
in case anyone would want to print some out and staple them to a local kiosk. There is a new line at the bottom directing anyone in crisis to call or text 988. #MentalHealth
