Survive No Matter What - Blog Posts

I think this is important for me to say, especially as someone who is far below the poverty line and disabled myself.

Now is the time to get fat, especially for people who are going to be put at risk by tariffs and restrictions on food stamps.

Now is the time to learn how to forage and how to use herbs to prevent and treat simple ailments.

Now is the time to learn first aid, how to stitch wounds, how to prevent a bullet wound from killing someone.

Now is the time to make plans to help disabled folks who can't run or defend themselves.

Now is the time to build muscle if you are physically able.

Now is the time to learn how to mend or create clothing.

Now is the time to try and transfer to physical media, and to transfer important information into something physical.

Now is the time to learn media literacy and how to decipher fake news.

Now is the time to understand that being a doomer will help no one, especially not yourself.

Things are going to shit. Prepare yourself as well as you are able. Don't spend your time worrying about impending doom, that won't help you. But what will help you is being prepared for things to go wrong. Start being more loving to the people who deserve it. Start taking care of yourself so that if at some point you can't, you'll have more time to change that fact. Start being hopeful. Start being angry if you aren't already. Start forgiving yourself, because you are your biggest ally. Start learning. About yourself. About how to support yourself. About the world. I love you, and we will all get through this via the aid of ourselves and others.
