Finding my way to what is mine to do on the path to collective liberation.

Reading, caffeinating, home-educating, & creating while questioning & confronting the status quo.

Fascinated by neurodiversity, self-directed learning, theology, and … humans.
I’ve been obsessed w/ the poem “Calling All Grand Mothers” by Alice Walker

Some favorite lines:

“We have to live differently
or we will die in the same
old ways.”

“Love will always move us away from domination in all its forms. Love will always challenge and change us. This is the heart of the matter.” #bellhooks in Teaching Community

Can’t stop thinking about this sentence in Teaching Community by #bellhooks: “Where there is domination there is no place for love.”

“Sometimes I imagine trees in therapy. In utter shambles as to why the mammals work against themselves.” - @prophiphop.bsky.social in Terraform: Building a Better World

In today’s resistance reading (Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope) I’ve been inspired to think about looking for the “open spaces in closed systems” and to be “searching for the place of possibility.” There are still people who can change and relating to them with that mentality might matter.
