The biggest difficulty I'm having is accepting Death but, of course, that option doesn't exist. Death can't be accepted because it can't be rejected; that option doesn't exist. The only thing you can do is realize that you exist now, and that's great. Enjoy Existence while we live, and then... Nothing.

And last of all, after another stressful week, a helpful reminder from @TheConversationUS about the benefits of gratitude, why it’s harder to practice in difficult times, and why we should still persevere. “The negative doesn’t need help gaining attention, but the positive might,” writes Monica Y. Bartlett, Professor of Psychology at Gonzaga University.
The ConversationGratitude comes with benefits − a social psychologist explains how to practice it when times are stressfulSome people are more inclined toward gratitude than others, but there are specific ways that everyone can cultivate more of it.
Возможно, вы грустите из-за того, что lor.sh закрывается.
Но вообще, у этого есть и плюсы.
Например, некоторые его обитатели побежали искать себе варианты для селфхоста. Естественно, как это обычно бывает, незамутнённый взгляд под непривычным углом быстро находит проблемы.
Поэтому, например, @rayslava вон скоро будет чинить плагин для Emacs под Mitra, а мы с @iliazeus уже нашли несколько проблем в GoToSocial и одном веб-клиенте для него и Mastodon.
Так что может lor.sh летом и закроется, но тем самым даст некоторый толчок нашей федеративной экосистеме стать лучше.
Так что налейте мне полстакана да выпьем за лорш и людей, которые там собрались

“The optimists among us
taking heart because it is spring
skip along
attending their meetings
signing their e-mail petitions
marching with their satiric signs
singing their we shall overcome songs
posting their pungent twitters and blogs
believing in a better world
for no good reason
I envy them
said the old woman…”

My latest post combines the very profound with the ridiculously mundane, in a manner that may prove jarring.

No, no.That you can't divide by 0, that is, the Infinity doesn't exist, doesn't mean you'll never get there. It means that being on the path is not eternal. The Limit of Infinity does exist. We cannot know its value, but you will get there.

Curious. Einstein's equations of relativity show that time begins at the Big Bang. So before the Big Bang there was no time… No, no. This doesn't make sense, it does not exist before the Big Bang. Hell, it can't even be expressed.
Can anyone conceive that there is no time?
Yes, there's #hope #optimism #positivity #progress #cohesion #inclusion #diversity

fedi.foundation · Fediverse.. The Spiral Island AnalogyThe Fediverse is like a hand-made island. A place of hope floating in rough seas of inhumane technology. Here, building from trash we create beauty. An archipelago can arise upon which humanity stands.
The future is not bleak. The left can not afford such an outlook. We've already known the path that #capitalism and its highest form would take. Our analysis has shown this. Use this time to strengthen and train your #revolutionary #optimism and reaffirm your convictions.
This resonated with me today. I'm going to do my best to make those around me and those I'm connected to (that's you!) a little bit happier, despite *gestures wildly in all directions*! We can do this! #optimism #yougotthis
The Bright Side: Why Optimists Have the Power to Change the World by Sumit Paul-Choudhury, 2024
The Bright Side makes a vital and transformative new argument: that optimism is not only the natural state of humanity, but an essential one. Without optimism we would never have survived the unpredictable – and often hostile – world we evolved into.
Even when it hurts, always try to keep on smiling ...

“What if our fixation on everything falling apart is blinding us to cracks of light breaking through the rubble? To the opportunities quietly unfolding while we’re too busy scrolling through the next disaster? Despair is a heavy, immobilizing force. And in a world on fire, inaction is its most dangerous side effect.”
