I found 'Farming Cuba: Urban Agriculture from the Ground Up' by Carey Clouse really up lifting. It's about the grassroots urban agriculture projects that were started by normal Cubans during the special economic period and then encouraged and formalised by the Cuban state. The book is very easy to read and also left me feeling very hopeful. Reading it was like realising that another world isn't just possible, it's already here - just localised and somewhere else. But the general lessons felt extremely prescient for the challenges that are going to face us because of climate change and definitely helped reinforce my bloomer side against my doomer one.

Idk if this helpful to say, but don't feel like you have to be constantly 'on' politically. You mention in some of your posts in this thread that you do a lot of activism. Make sure that you take care of yourself and that you let yourself have a life outside of politics.
