25 Ways to Survive & Thrive in 2025
1) Don’t trust the government; media; Big Tech; globalist organizations; megacorporations; institutions; health authorities; boards; legislatures; political parties; the judicial system; philanthropaths; mountebanks; tyrants; politicians; fact-chokers; celebrities; smear merchants; kapos; amnesty-demanders; tear-downers; apologists; colluding doctors, scientists, experts, or publications; or any other entity, marionette, or divider attempting to profit off your sickness, con you, steal your resources, enslave you, or kill you.
2) Trust your intuition and liberate your mind from cognitive biases, readymade beliefs, bamboozlement, and menticidal programming.
3) Learn how to recognize propaganda, social engineering, public opinion seeding, consent manufacturing, coercion, nudging, influencing, emotional manipulation, astroturfing, and behavioral psychology techniques.
4) Research extensively, reading books and quality content from uncorrupted sources with proven integrity while using uncaptured search engines and video platforms to seek out censored information.
5) Eat real, whole, organic, pasture-raised, local ingredients, minimizing carbs and enjoying healthy fats like grass-fed butter; coconut oil; ghee; olive oil; and avocado oil while practicing some form of low-carb/high-fat diet (e.g., keto, Paleo, Primal).
6) Avoid Frankenfoods, seed oils, pesticides, pollutants, SSRIs, statins, and other toxins and poisons.
7) Practice intermittent fasting daily and periodic longer fasts.

9) Take supplements to boost your immune system, address your particular conditions, and extend your life.

13) Declutter and live simply.
14) Minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) and radio-frequency radiation (RFR).

16) Reduce your stress and incorporate mindfulness habits such as meditation, breathing exercises, gratitude, and prayer.
17) Let your emotions out, have fun, and laugh often.
18) Align all aspects of your being with your values.
19) Embrace empowering philosophical traditions such as Stoicism and Taoism.
20) Build your resilience.
21) Connect with kindred members of our Apocaloptimistic karass; nurture your relationships; cuddle with furred, feathered, or scaled companions; evade narcissists; and help others.
22) Savor art, poetry, music, and videos unpolluted by nefarious agendas.
23) Practice creativity and heed your passion.
24) Resist all forms of tyranny, democide, and war.
25) Live by courage, not cowardice; truth, not lies; love, not fear.

New Year’s Blessing
The luminous Mary Poindexter McLaughlin shared this during our Apocaloptimists Club Zoom meeting just before I was preparing to publish this, and it was too exquisite not to share.
Beannacht: A Blessing for the New Year
by John O’Donohue
For Josie
On the day when
The weight deadens
On your shoulders
And you stumble,
May the clay dance
To balance you.
And when your eyes
Freeze behind
The grey window
And the ghost of loss
Gets in to you,
May a flock of colours,
Indigo, red, green,
And azure blue,
Come to awaken in you
A meadow of delight.
When the canvas frays
In the currach of thought
And a stain of ocean
Blackens beneath you,
May there come across the waters
A path of yellow moonlight
To bring you safely home.
May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
May the clarity of light be yours,
May the fluency of the ocean be yours,
May the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
Wind work these words
Of love around you,
An invisible cloak
To mind your life.
Note: “Beannacht” is the Gaelic word for “blessing.” A “currach” is a large boat used on the west coast of Ireland.

Thank you, friend.
Our lives in So Cal began bright on a sunny morning Tuesday, January 7th. Since that bright and shiny morning has given way to devastation.
Lives have been lost and property up in ashes.
I know full well what every person who lost their home is feeling. I know, only because we lost everything in the 2007 Corral Fire.
A home is so much more than a structure. It’s a refuge for an introvert like myself. It’s a place where a family can just be!
I want to reach out to everyone that needs a hug, for whatever reason. My arms are open and very long.
MAA suffered the most devastating loss of her beloved, Michael in July 2024.
Margaret, you are a lifeline and a beacon of life and hope.
Your list is amazing and I so appreciate your warmth and kindness. Thank you.
Pretty exhaustive list M...A. Although I may have missed it I would add: Do FILTER YOUR WATER even if it is from a municipal supply. My city fluoridates, chlorinates and adds rust inhibitor to what it calls "drinking " water. Nursing mothers who use tap water to make milk substitutes take note: Flouride in not good for developing brains especially during infancy while ingesting it does absolutely nothing to protect teeth or bones. Applying fluoride directly to the teeth via gel or paste does keep teeth harder but no one recommends swallowing the suds. ( The reason toothpaste tubes are no larger than they are is that they are limited by the minimum amount of fluoride that would be LETHAL if the entire tube was swallowed.)
