I just want to be more positive in my life as I see the world growing number of challenges as I like to say. Loving strangers is helping me out and preaching class solidarity.

Lots of the usual stuff, but speaking of class, when I get unexpectedly positive reactions for outreach. When handing out fliers at a train station, I'd often see someone instinctually ignore us for handing out stuff, but when I announce the reason (e.g. protesting a local weapons factory supplying the ongoing genocide, or for my union organizing to fight issues affecting our workers) some people double back and grab one, or even thank us for volunteering. It's heartwarming and validating. Far more people showing interest or support than the one or two grumpy reactionaries.
