Open post Exindiv @Exindiv@chitter.xyz · 38mo ago Replying to @dentangle@chaos.social <p>Heard the story of the girl throwing starfish into the ocean? A man watching her says "don't you know there are miles of beach and you can't make a difference?"</p><p>The girl bends down and scoops up another starfish and gently throws it into the ocean, turns to the man and says "it made a difference to that one".</p><p>I often think of this story when world events make me feel powerless. I can't help everyone, but I can help *someone*.</p><p>So... if anyone needs me to throw them into the sea, I'm here.</p> @dentangle Can we volunteer some folks? I can make a list.
