Day 5 - Nia (Purpose)

Its been 400 years since the start of the slave trade so people have had a very long time to vilify other people because of their skin color. Antiblackness has spread across the globe, and dark-skinned people are judged by others as soon as they are seen.
Changing that will take a long time.
I've been thinking of writing stories where that isn't the case. #Solarpunk stories. Finding a purpose can be something very small, but every little bit helps.

Day 6 - Kuumba (Creativity)

New Years Eve is a time to party and forget your troubles before the start of the new year. In Kwanzaa, it is time for Karamu Ya Imani (Feast of Faith). The value, Kuumba, should be demonstrated by crafts, music, and fun with the purpose to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
In the spirit of Kuumba, for Today's affirmation I will tell a Nancy story. Special thanks to @FreakyFwoof who contributed music.

I did something this year that I would like to recommend to everyone for the new year. Call it a Fedi Resolution if you like.

Find someone whose work you like and become their champion. Not in a creepy way, but make a point of boosting them every time they post (or post about) their work. Recommend it to people you think would like it.

The Fediverse works if it works for the people who use it. If you see someone who does something you like, lend your voice to help make it work for them.

That gpgfail comment about how they could have tanked bitcoin with a Twitter post faking a Satoshi signed message was a bit too optimistic. You're not going to cause panic unless you can move funds from his wallets. The skeptics would have quickly tried to verify with other PGP implementations and discovered the ruse
