My place of work provides affordable housing. Best: helping people be housed Worst: It's a toss up between knowing there are still so many people waiting for help and seeing people sucked back into the cycle of poverty

I tell myself that taking the first step (of whatever task I'm avoiding) doesn't mean I have to complete whatever task I'm avoiding. Somehow reminding myself that, for example, taking my socks off doesn't mean I HAVE to take a shower, gets me over the initial hurdle of resistance. If necessary, I will lie to myself about each step of a task, with full knowledge I'm only saying it to trick myself into doing something. At some point, I decide that I might as well finish (usually).

As far as motorcycles go, I've heard "loud pipes save lives", in that people will hear the motorcycle and be aware of it when they otherwise would not.

I agree! We grew some purple okra a few years ago and it was gorgeous!!

Oh, yeah! I love those tracks too.

Those lines in wrong way/one way: I touch the ground/send my roots deep down/try to stick around.

And these from big lie: Everything's changing / there's beauty between the lies

I'm massively indebted to the friend who introduced me to RVIVR. I think I love all of their music.

I once was able to participate in a live stream thing Erica did on Instagram; she asked for requests, and then played mine! I was on cloud nine for months after and still get giddy thinking about it. To be fair, I think she played all the requests, but still...

Me too, friend. Me too.

Pretty much any RVIVR song, imo. I was going to include the best set of lyrics, but I can't decide.

I'm partial to "goodbyes", "cut the cord", and "shaggy" from a lyrics+music standpoint, but find it difficult to separate the best lyrics without the music.

Ah, well, as they say, "we're all adults here, we can choose"

I see I was looking at the conversation from a wider perspective and likely misunderstood the context added by the image. I don't disagree with your comment "abolishing 'x' ends 'x'". However, abolishing any given inequity, one at a time, in one area at a time is not the progress I was speaking of when I asked how to change social structure. Before we can abolish anything, we need people who believe it should be abolished, and we need enough of them to institute change. My question was directed more toward the earlier steps: identifying necessary change and then creating/maintaining a movement which can enact that change.

Yeah, the context button doesn't seem to add the context that I find helpful. I agree it should show your comment and replies to your comment (and parent comment, if applicable? Although I think that should show as a collapsed portion that you can expand as desired).

If we keep finding ourselves in another iteration of the problem, did it really work? There has to be a more permanent solution.
