Mark Zuckerberg: Is this the masculine energy you were looking for?

That's Meta's new board member Dana White hugging Andrew Tate, who has been charged with human trafficking, multiple counts of rape, and forming a criminal gang to exploit women.

On International Women's Day, no less.

It’s normal to feel scared.
It’s normal to feel unsure.
It’s normal to feel unprepared.

And that’s why it’s so brave to try anyway.

How to stop feeling so cynical and hopeless in four steps:

1. You must control your news exposure. Choose one reputable source that shares a daily update, ideally that's pushed to you in your inbox in a newsletter or digest. If you're using social media, try to check it just once or twice a day.

Some hard truths we all need to internalize:

You cannot expect to feel hopeful and optimistic without participating.

You cannot expect to see change happen without showing up to do your part.

You cannot expect to stay strong in this moment without leaning on others.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. We can pursue happiness for ourselves in a way that makes the world a happier place for everyone. That is what New Happy does.

Tomorrow, the embodiment of Old Happy takes office once again.

This time, he's ready to unleash even greater suffering upon the world, empowered by cowardly individuals who masquerade as leaders and by harmful systems that serve the few.

What can we do?
