So that\u2019ll happen in a month. In the meantime he also referred me to a physical therapist that can do vestibular rehabitation, and he thinks the prognosis for that is really good.\n\nHopefully I\u2019ll be able to feel comfortable driving again soon, because gosh do I not like being stuck in my little bubble.",

I understand that, when you are staring at a factory spewing toxic chemicals and carbon into the atmosphere, someone who shuffles over and whispers in your ear “Go plant a tree and save the world”; your first instinct isn’t to thank them for their keen insight but to launch a broadside in their direction.

And yet…in twenty years the factory could be thoroughly reformed or closed for good, and meanwhile, you played an instrumental role in growing a forest.

We are in the “planting trees” era of American #politics and #openweb technology right now. It will take a whole lot of effort and feel silly or pointless at times…and there will be moments when the desired future for our society seems farther away than ever before.

Don’t let the temptation of bitter despair take hold. Go plant a tree and save the world. Future generations are counting on you to do right by them.

“Art is the only thing that helps people stay alive, and it is the only thing that has allowed people to create joy in this insane, suppressive universe. And art is the only thing that they can’t get rid of. They’ve tried, but ultimately they can’t stamp it out.”
