Easing my way back into the #Doomposting (and boy, there's a lot of #DoomAndGloom out there). I did spend some quality time at the ##MétisOfMaine #PowWow today, and made some new friends -- including a fellow Two-Spirit person, who recognized that I, too, was one. We talked about what to wear when dancing (they were wearing both a ribbon shirt and a ribbon skirt). I mentioned that I felt called to wear a ribbon shirt (with pants), but also use a shawl -- because as a Diindiisi (Ojibwe word for "Blue Jay"), I needed wings when dancing. They totally understood where I was coming from. Hung out with a talented seamstress (a different one than the one who made my shawl), and talked to her about decorating my shawl with Blue Jay colors, along with the Métis symbol, and she should have the work done by the next PowWow. Psyched!

Also, I, too, am guilty of doing this exact same thing. And someone pointed it out, and I realized that I was being an asshole. After some deep self-examination of my own values, I realized that despite my #Doomposting, part of me still has hope that a better world is possible -- which is why I started #SolarPunkSunday. If you've given up, I get that. But please don't hate on others who haven't. Mute the hashtag, mute my account -- but don't be an asshole. After all, who is the REAL enemy? It sure ain't the folks who dare to have hope -- despite the odds! #TheOddsAreNeverInOurFavor

So, what does "DoomsdaysCW" mean? Well, my nickname since high school has been "Doomsday", and years ago on FB, I started a parody account called, "Doomsday's Conspiracy Watch." Except then #Fukushima nuclear accident happened, and, well, I realized there was a big conspiracy -- covering up how much radiation was released! The account then became focused on coverups, and when I moved over to the BirdSite in 2014, I shortened the name to DoomsdaysCW. Here on Mastodon, I'm realizing that a lot of what I post SHOULD have a CW, but doesn't. So yeah. Now "DoomsdaysCW" is "Doomsday's Content Warning"! You have been warned!

Overwhelmed with the #doomposting? (Yes, even Doomsday over here needs a break). Take a walk in nature (ideal), but if you're stuck indoors, create a list of artists, photographers, cartoonists, etc. Anything that make you smile! And then visit your list when you need a break!
