Hope is not naïveté

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

I’m hopeful. HOPE is not naïveté. Hope is being honest about where we are, believing there’s better AND participating in the work for better. It involves disciplining our minds with strategy for good and our hearts with faith in the future.

i may have already mentioned this. but i love you

The whole truth is generally the ally of virtue; a half-truth is always the ally of some vice.

[Joél Leon. @JoelakaMaG]

love is hard. it is also beautiful. love is work. let’s let go of this narrative that suggests otherwise. a lot of our “love shouldn’t feel like work” notions are due to the unhealthy attachments we have to “work” as it has been defined by capitalism.

work can be glorious, too.

Nonviolence pursues heart change AND systemic and social change. It is not a “Why can’t we all just get along?” ideology. It is a philosophy and strategy which requires us to demonstrate that “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” #MLK

@FXNetworks American Horror Story and @nbc This Is Us won’t be on the same night like last year. I guess we’ll just have to have Taco Tuesday and Waffle Wednesday ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ @AshleyMagoffin

I ended my day with Cradle Cincinnati‘s council of moms in Northside, and I’m happy to say that two moms will be joining the policy committee. Change is real, and only real, when the streets and the boardroom are combined.

Be sure to mark your calendar for Wednesday, August 15th (5-8 pm). UpSpring is the recipient of Rhinegeist's Charitable Suds Night!

What a great way to commemorate a successful summer and celebrate the upcoming school-year!

Again: “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love." #MLK

I, too, sing America...

Tomorrow,
I'll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody'll dare
Say to me,
"Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They'll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

We each get to decide what we'll give to the world and what we'll take from it. Love big; pack light.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Nonviolence is not passive; nor does it cower in the face of evil and injustice. However, it is strategic, active and tactical, with an ultimate goal in mind. Now the question is: What’s the ultimate goal?

[Thoughts of Dog @dog_feelings]

sometimes. you have to spin in circles. to appreciate all that’s around you
