I wish there were a symbol we could put at the end of a toot about something inconsequential or irrelevant-in-the-big-scheme to indicate: I know world events are awful. I am not ignoring it or untouched by it. I am just right now reacting to the overwhelmingness of it all by tooting about something insignificant and harmless and maybe even nice.
This thought springs from the fact that I just hesitated to share this random call to dance as a Silent Sunday photo because it seemed too frivolous.

@CiaraNi I know how you feel. I also feel the, mm, hesitancy to post when it's something inconsequential in the big scheme of things. I do it anyway.
We are still every single one of us a person living our little lives, being excited about small things, and I absolutely think you and me and everybody else should share these things 🩷
In fact, I long for a community/instance where those things are the most dominant ones
, so please keep sharing things like that

@CiaraNi Somehow, this is more relevant than fascist presidents attacking each other.

@CiaraNi I know the feeling, but when I posted photos of flowers and my cat today I got an overwhelmingly positive response.
I think we need everyone's Silent Sunday posts as a respite from the news. We know folks like you are aware of the awfulness, but we can read the awful news and still appreciate nice things, too — however trivial in the grand scheme of things.

I think frivolity is much needed right now.

@jeridansky Your flower photos are one of my favourite things on my timeline. Especially at times like these. Amid all the wreckage and worry, it's so good to see the joy and colours of them!

@ondekvinde Ah hvor dejligt! Jeg er misundelig på den gode måde. Jeg har ingen danseplaner i dag, men det burde jeg måske lave om på - man kan jo også bare danse i køkkenet bare for at danse. Nyd morgendansen!

@anderslund When you put it like that - yes, enig!

, so please keep sharing things like that @svedigtype Nicely put. The hesitancy is there, right enough. And at the same time it is natural and nice to be 'excited about small things'. I really like that phrase, it captures something important and 'human-sized' in the midst of all the terrible news. I'll be borrowing that phrase, please and tak

@CiaraNi Exactly, and we need to really hold on to that, I think, to the small things that excites us 🩷
It doesn't mean we're oblivious to the horrors going on around us or insensitive to those, just that we're human and we also need to take care of ourselves and each other in a small, close and near way, if that makes sense
-
@jooles There are worse coping strategies, right enough
-
@kmdk @svedigtype Me too.
"we also need to take care of ourselves and each other in a small, close and near way"
That makes so much sense. That resonates.

@CiaraNi @kmdk Makes me quite happy to my core 🩷
I sometimes feel really silly for sharing those little things that make me excited, but at the same time it's a really big part of who I am, and it makes me real, well, excited, that others feel the same way 🥳
It certainly makes me wanna do it more 🫶 !

@CiaraNi At any moment in time, there are horrible things happening somewhere in the world. But there are also beautiful, inspiring things happening in every moment too. To stop spreading the beautiful would be to concede to the horrible. Don’t do that, and don’t criticize those spreading joy, beauty, and hopefulness either.
