A (long) good read here.
It is easy to feel despair and doom and gloom because there are plenty of terrible things happening.
But important, great things are also out there, they just don't make the headlines.
Here is a round up of the good stuff from 2025, and an excuse for hope in things getting better despite it all.

TL;DR Most EV batteries will last longer than the cars they’re in. Battery degradation is at better (meaning: lower) rates than expected. Slow charging is better. Drive EV and don’t worry about your battery.
„Our 2025 analysis of over 22,700 electric vehicles, covering 21 different vehicle models, confirms that overall, modern EV batteries are robust and built to last beyond a typical vehicle’s service life.“

Some good news for a dreich, cold and miserable morning
• the compulsory digital ID is being reported as having been dropped in the UK
• Elbit Systems (an Israeli company) will not be given the contract to train the British army, ostensibly because of corruption, I would like to imagine there was more
• Offshore wind production is being expanded. Now deal with distribution, zonal pricing and the gas price link

A day without news, without doomscrolling. Only beautiful things, nature photos. And I doodled leisurely and watched a few animated films. Above all, I relaxed.
World politics has not changed for better or worse as a result of my rest, but I now have more energy again to work towards change. And I see: We must echo the voices of the good people much more than falling into the spiral of outrage.
#Selfcare is an important part of #resistance!
