Is there any good news today? If not, a photo of your cat? I could use some uplifting…
Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist is a nice uplifting TV series, if you need to take your mind off one thing or another.
I didn't even mind the singing. So much singing.

I regularly get random animals (well, mainly cats and foxes) come and stare at me outside my studio. That is already uplifting, but today was especially good in in that one actually came in and stayed for a while. Hopefully it’ll not be the last time. My next mission is for a fox to do the same. Anyone know how to befriend a fox?

Day 14:
Anne Donovan
Her novel "BuddhaDa" is one of the most clever, hilarious, uplifting and yet very serious works of literature I've ever read. It sits on my favourites shelf. As she writes the dialogues the way people talk, you will learn some Scots Glasgow dialect along the way. I had the pleasure of attending a reading with her at a local library in Edinburgh and she signed this much-love…
In a surprising turn of events, I didn't see a single kid in a k-pop demon hunters Halloween outfit in two hours.
Slightly less surprising but definitely more uplifting, there wasn't a Squid Game costume to be seen either.
Good job #berlin parents.
I have believed for a long time now that humanity has proven incapable of a 'gradual decline' of anything that it is truly dependent on even if alternatives are available.
We seem pre-programmed to use something to the max... hit rock bottom in terms of impacts on our own health and general well being… and then go pretty much cold turkey. (either through replacement or outright abstinence).
I believe it will be the same with fossil fuels.
We are possibly seeing a slight reduction now globally in overall use of oil. But it is still far and away too too much.
Maybe we’ll cut this by 10% or 20% in the next 10 or 20 years... but zero by 2050? Not a chance.
I believe we will go and go and go, until one day we can go no more, the pressure is too great, the casualties too high, the effects too devastating, and the impact of complete shutdown of the fossil fuel industry in less than 5 years will seem less bad than the damage we have already done and are sure to suffer in future.
I hope I live to see that day, not out of morbidity, but out of hope. I want to die knowing we finally did it. I don't know if that's going to happen.
Not an uplifting prediction, I know, but seriously, tell me I'm wrong.
