The goal of open source should be to empower people, not to make them feel like they have no agency and their work doesn't matter.

the coolest thing about local activism is that not only do you get to know your neighbors well enough that they remember you like weird ice cream, they can actually suggest having planning meetings at your favorite weird ice cream placei am slowly coming to understand that activism should be built on joy, community, and connection - not anger or fear.
anger and fear are very valid emotions to feel in the current political situation* but trying to build a movement out of them leads to burnout and brittle, polarized communities. joy and connection lead to individual flourishing and community resilience
* actually all emotions are always valid but these are especially common and understandable right now
