With so much despair in the air, we want to say two things about how we're handling all of... this [gestures everywhere].
1) If we seem unphased, it's because none of this is a shock. We spend our time thinking about the pathway to a good future. And while the way is certainly dark, we're still on that pathway.
... and 2) #solarpunk #tabletopgames are not simply escapism. We're not *hopeful* for an ecosocialist revolution. We're planning it.
Telling stories about the world we want is a core element of movement building. That's been a weaknesses of the left in the past.
Fortunately, that's changing :)
