may today be a catalyst that inspires us to turn toward each other in every way we can (and must) ✨

in my dreams, today is a turning point where we shift our thinking from buying toward borrowing + mending + repurposing + going without.

where everyone who is able to begins to shift their necessary spending to the businesses that actually need + deserve our business.

i hope today marks the beginning of the end of haul videos. i hope every influencer with an amazon storefront is thinking deeply about how they really want to wield their influence. i hope we are all realizing that the dopamine hit of an impulsive purchase is an empty + hollow promise.

i am trying to decide if i've got the chutzpah to post those videos here since i haven't really seen anyone else doing anything similar, but i appreciate your vote of confidence! 🥰

but i lost my voice for 2 weeks and barely had time to come up for air before we got hit with whatever this one is.

(it is all too much)

wish us luck.

(luck means little when the game is rigged)

i joke with a friend that at this point i'm just relieved we haven't gotten scarlet fever yet.

(it is not a very good joke)

i need to start working on my next album.

(who knows when long c*v!d might claim my creativity? brain fog is a cute name for something that's stolen so much from my mother)

everyone assures me that constant sickness just comes with the territory at this age.

(i've never found comfort in denial)

but even they say there are a lot of extra nasty bugs going around this year.

(huh, i wonder why that could possibly be)

when we were last there for strep/pneumonia no one asked about prior covid infections.

(my mom has lived with ME/CFS since long before it had a name so i am all too familiar with the medical establishment's ignorance of post-viral illness + penchant for gaslighting when they don't have an answer)

i am lucky to have a family-friendly job that allows me to work remotely when i need to.

(oh the guilt of being unreliable! oh the unbearable weight of worry!)

we're off to the doctor again this afternoon.

(we will continue to wear our masks even when no one else does)

awww thank you 🥰

i think that will be the lens that i bring here. a little more of the whole me, not just the kid-friendly version of me: the politics that inform my perspective, ways our family is building resilience, tools i'm leaning on + learning from.

a space to bear witness to this moment.

we shall see ✨
