Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Talk around stuff like lyrics do
Expert at skirting the facts I knew
Can’t tell if I’m a liar or wise
Can’t lose you so I forfeit the prize
Almost wish I’d had less self control
Less thought for the future, that took its toll

All of this
Can co-exist
And so indeed it should
All of this
Yet we persist
And so indeed we must
All of this
Endless appetite
Consuming all of us
Can co-exist
And so indeed it should
All of this
Yet we persist
And so indeed we must
All of this
Endless appetite
Consuming all of us

Festivi-tea Day 4! Do you know what Internalised Ableism is? It’s a phrase that many of us have never heard of, yet all of us deal with every day. I invite all of you to think about what assumptions we have about health and how that impacts our actions. Hustle culture? Burn out? Living to work?
