Life Has Value

I don't know if this is allowed, but this song really makes me feel better when I feel overwhelmed with everything going on. It was released in 2012, and it's only more relevant today. We're in this together fam. Get mad. 💙

I 100% agree with listening to music - hearing and being moved by lyrics being sung - music festivals, playlists, its the closest i have to tribe and fire. For me though? I fought HARD for 25 years, I’m weary, I’m accepting ALL of it. No fight, just want to pet cats, dogs, people, love well and deeply. It’s not resignation - it’s laying down the fight. That it is futile. The best I can do is love fiercely and well. Take care and keep going. Nods n salutes your way.

I find it is a delicate balance. Finding comfort where you can, protecting your loved ones, and when a rare opportunity comes to make a move, or share information, no matter how small... you do it. I don't believe taking up arms is going to do anyone any good, but spreading of as much information as humanly possible, including sources of strength or comfort, and keeping an eye out for the small things we can do to make their lives difficult is the best any of us can do as individuals. I feel you, I'm almost 50, I'm exhausted. I feel like this is a cycle that just keeps happening. But damned if I'm not going to do what small good I can, you know?
Sometimes it's the tiniest cog breaking that can bring down a huge machine. But fiest and foremost, keep your peace and sanity. Without it, we've got nothing. 🩷

Taking care of others, takijg care of yourself, practicing love- that's being in the fight. More than that, it's the whole point.
I'm a professional political field worker. Not everybody has to be on the front lines of elections to make a big difference.
Just by being loving and living well you are fighting evil. Thank you.

Right back at you. Was a fed, helped veterans, healthcare workers doing palliative care and trauma for decades. It’s plenty, more than enough. Send bravos and bravado to others

Wow didn’t expect to see this today! Chill Bump is great and so is so much other French hip hop: The Architect, L’Entourloop, Chinese Man, Degiheugi, and more.
Incidentally, the same guy (a Bulgarian) who introduced me to collapse thinking 20 years ago (with the story of B) introduced me to French hip hop. Weird.

Why must life have value? Because life says so?

It's just a title. If you give it a lesson, it might make more sense. I feel you. I kinda wish the astroid percentage would have a massive uptake. It would be a relief. But the message still hits hard, title be damned.
