I dream of never being called resilient again in my life.
I’m exhausted by strength. I want support. I want softness. I want ease. I want to be amongst kin. Not patted on the back for how well I take a hit. Or for how many.

I understand being upset with unvaccinated people taking up hospital beds.
But you can make the same argument about people who smoke, drink alcohol excessively, consume junk food and live a sedentary lifestyle.
Hospitals are filled with people who make poor lifestyle choices.

Five major takeaways from the IPCC report:
-It’s warming ‘almost everywhere’.
-It’s warming ‘rapidly’.
-It’s been a long time since our planet has been this warm.
-It’s going to get worse before it gets better.
-Fixing it ‘requires’ net zero carbon globally as soon as possible.

“to be an organizer is to believe in a freedom we've yet to experience and probably never will—but we do the work still.

we are practitioners of a world that does not exist but will."

Before issuing a RFP to reimagine a sector / redesign a major effort, look honestly at your budget. Divide that by human-time. Is than more than a grad student doing a lit review + some KIIs?
Change is about people + politics, not ideas. So are you seriously investing in change?

I am furious for you 😂

Observation 6: ORNAMENTS ARE EXPENSIVE. That cost me $15.99. That's more than three everything bagels. I am furious. For what it cost, you best believe that I am insisting that it be passed on to my great grandchildren. If they break it I will haunt them.

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas. I am approaching this with anthropological precision. Here are a few observations.
