Kicking at the darkness until it bleeds light
The title of this month’s tikkun olam post comes from something Marissa Lingen once said years ago, about the symbolism of the darkest time of the year (and the making of difficult but lovely cookies in that season). Seems apropos.
As promised, I’m posting an open thread on the first day of each month where people can talk about the things they’re doing to repair the world. Any good deed you have done recently, any charitable donation or volunteering of your time, any change you’ve made in your life so that you will be a better citizen of your society, please share it here. Anything you are intending to do in the coming months, tell us about it.
Nothing is too small. Don’t hold back on mentioning something because you’re embarrassed to mention something so trivial. We need every bit of light.

I pick up trash whenever I see it.

I'm grateful that there are usually trash cans in my vicinity where I can throw it away in. I get so mad whenever I see litter, especially if its at a location (like a movie theatre) where a person knows there will be a trash can.
