Your examples for a positive life are a relief for me to read, thank you for this <3

Anti-nuclear activist and system theorist Joanna Macey has written with Chris Johnstone about what they call “Active Hope.” I recommend the book and the Work That Reconnects, if you are interested. Best summarized by the question “What do I hope for and how can I be active in moving that way?”

Heads up, when I read “base building” my first interpretation is the the political organizing term. I appreciate now knowing that it’s got meanings in completely different contexts too! Best luck in finding good community for discussion here on slrpnk :)
