hello. there were a few developments in my city that made me feel very hopeless. I thought of this illustration project in response. If you work in the third/social/ngo sector or as an organiser/activist/advocate or anything adjacent, and have experienced despair, I'd love to read your response!

if you find it interesting, please fill it and share with folks who may be interested. ♥️

@tatianasys I like this image of a unicorn, regardless of the source of generation. The image offers hope.

I'm often tempted to reply to or refute folks with views I consider overly pessimistic or unnecessarily discouraging. I know better.

Making an effort to simply seek out and share more information about people doing good things in the world, organizations working for positive change, and interesting ideas to make the work a better place.

Any good hashtags to follow for this kind of info?

Here are some I've found.

There’s a new hopepunk anthology from OWI: Transform the World. And there’s a giveaway.

There has to be a better way... We asked 14 sci-fi writers to come up with innovative ways the world could work better.

I can't find the tooted link, but I opened up this article yesterday to read today (as a post blood test reward) and it's beautifully written and heart-breaking. But also shows the power of D&D and TTRPGs to allow people to better understand themselves and offer the chance to grow and learn. It also demonstrates how inhuman prison systems are. What a waste.

I have heard so many sad stories from late-in-life transitioners who have lost their female partner because they refuse to accept that their partner/spouse is a female.
They married a man after all, not a woman.
