'Goodness is connected with the acceptance of real death and real chance and real transience and only against the background of this acceptance, which is psychologically so difficult, can we understand the full extent of what virtue is like.'

Sometimes things unfold in surprising and lovely ways at exactly the right moment illuminating paths forward that didn't exist before and/or you only dreamed about. I survived 2023. I hope to thrive in 2024.

All my broken appliances and gadgets are on to their second life to be taken apart in Marty Thaler's @IlTDesign product design course next semester. And, so the great apartment reorg and deep cleaning continues as we spiral toward a cozy home and new adventures in 2024.

Having an uninterrupted stretch of time to code transcripts is a wonderful luxury and makes my brain both cooperative, curious, connective, and happy.

"Organizing is not a process of ideological matchmaking. Most people’s politics will not mirror our own...if we cannot organize beyond the bounds of our comfort zones, we will never build movements large enough to combat the forces that would destroy us."
