Just wondering if anything good is happening somewhere. Maybe some local organizing wins? Would be nice to see something positive happening.

When you gotta spend all day with someone it's good to stay friendly with them

It's funny now that you mention that. I always used that justification to try and keep on the good side of my coworkers, but never myself

I find myself sometimes thinking of my(past/future/criticism-receiving)self as a separate person because it reframes my treatment of that person. Sometimes I give the next guy a gift by cleaning shit up or otherwise preparing stuff to make his life easier, and thank the last one for his gift.

I have been doing that and it really helps! Self criticism becomes much more human and empathetic when I realize that I can accept the things that I find wrong in myself in other people
