somehow ive found myself in a position where folks come to chuck in times of strife for encouragement. lets get the big part of this conversation out of the way LOVE IS STILL REAL and that is the thing to remember. that north star remains. today there is more to talk about though
to my people
we turn to each other at the best times as we do at the worst times. our community is alive because we lift and take care of each other. we are not moved by bullshit. when we’re afraid we lean on each other. right now we are going to do exactly that. we are going to be there for each other.
do not be cynical. do not have the conversation alone in your head. go be together. be around those who do not assume the worst of you.
fight for the rights of oppressed people.
respect the earth and its creatures.
live with the most dignity and remember that every tiny thing is carried on.
as always the ally coalition’s work does not rest. as always our people do not rest and know greater strength and joy than those who put others down.
