The US Supreme Court is making legislation based on one bad egg vibes. Why are we all following these invisible rules of upholding this system? Dismantle.. we want a new system!

Just finished reading Killers of the Flower Moon, and very pleased to see they are adapting the book into a feature film. Out this October, Scorsese worked with the Osage people and descendants of those lost during the reign of terror,

History must be remembered.

Everyday is a beautiful opportunity to live WITH the earth. And everyday is an opportunity to be grateful for it.

Why makes things alone? It’s much more fun & rewarding to make things with people you love.

They say it’s really lonely being at the top; then I’m bringing my whole crew with me.

[ky polanco @kyrpolanco]

I will not have made it without my community. Success to me looks like collaborating with people in what they are most passionate about. And then being able to prosper on what you’ve communally built.

If we can move away from “ownership” and towards stewardship, there is possibility for saving our earth.

[ky polanco @kyrpolanco]

I’m tired of people trying to ‘own’ things. In a world that is so interconnected the idea of ownership is what is killing us and the earth.

[ky polanco @kyrpolanco]

What about “owning our bodies?” Our bodies are borrowed from our ancestors and future generations. We are merely here on borrowed time. Bodies are not meant to be owned. Bodies are part of the earth too.
