Misanthropy and nihilism do not belong in politics

If you don't care about or hate humanity, or just overall genuinely don't believe in any chance at making a better future/life for others, and talk down anyone having any hope or progress in this world, you should not have an influence over how society should function. All this does is at best demotivate us and make us capitulate to harmful groups that are motivated to enact change for their own gain, and at worst cause a lot of harm that wouldn't exist if you just cared about others. Do note that I have almost fallen down the nihilism pipeline and so I can be sympathetic towards people that find themselves going through it too (depends on some other factors ofc) but I am just not sympathetic towards either stance

I've decided to pick up trash picking as a hobby

Every time I walk outside I try to remember to bring a plastic bag with me so I can pick up whatever piece of trash I see on the ground. It's a bit of a double-edged sword really, while it's nice to take care of the earth around you it's also quite sad to see just how much trash is around you at all times. Thankfully it ends up being nice in the end because I now see less and less litter around on my usual routes. Keeping in mind that some is enough (I don't need to pick up every little piece esp if I'm on my way to someplace like work) and that what's small to you means the world to the plants, insects, and whatever animal that may be in that area does help with this hobby as well

I'm hoping to do more volunteer work and bigger actions for helping the local area at some point in the near future but for now this is a good habit to have

So many project ideas yet so little energy

God I wanna make so much art (drawing/painting/wood carving/crochet/build things/etc), make comics, learn languages, learn how to deep clean and power wash, garden, make clothes, make fursuits, travel, hike, forage, make youtube videos, go urban exploring, go ghost hunting, animate, preserve animal skeletons and insects, etc etc.

But I'm so perpetually exhausted that even just planning out an idea takes a lot out of me, and it feels so unfair.

Thankfully medication has helped out a looot (I mean the difference between taking genuinely months to do anything vs being able to do so within a week or even a day if lucky is quite an improvement) but it's not gonna make me superhuman any time soon ^^;

Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart?

I mean there's Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I'm sure there are plenty more (and I haven't even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a couple months?
