A spark in the void

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT CRASH OUT.
Folks are relying on you to be overstimulated, overwhelmed, & overcome so you won't resist.
Take breaks,
Take a breath,
Be intentional with how you spend your time.
Be effective with how you spend your energy.
Support each other
Rest, live, & fight another day.

Now, more than ever, awareness is critical.

Several content creators - on video and text platforms - break down this treatise into digestible chunks. Look them up, pick a topic that stokes your inner fire, find local organizations who are rallying to fight these threats.

We need each other.
People need to revisit the 900 page project 2025 template to understand what’s happening.

Be as proactive as you can, and set up self care as needed - we will likely experience quite the ride next week
Heads up, despite ICE raids announced for the 21st, might be worth preparing for them as soon as Trump finishes the oath. Theatrics of armed men kicking down doors at the exact completion of “So Help Me God.” would be first-rate propaganda. They're using the whole authoritarian playbook. #terrorism

The current TikTok saga is a taste - and/or test - of what is yet to manifest

Noam Chomsky has been a hero of mine ever since I read his books exploring transformational grammar.

I felt sad today. So I watched a few of his recent videos about our current reality, which seemed like completely logical thing to do.

I don’t feel better but I also don’t feel alone.

Our reality is created from a kaleidoscope of individual truths, perspectives, and reactions.

Keep speaking, even if your voice sounds like a whisper against the wind of oppression.

Being curious is the first step to building bridges and understanding interconnection as well as intersectionality
Instead of 'What can AI teach every other field?', we should ask 'What can AI learn FROM every other field?', e.g. sociology, education, indigenous knowledge systems. After all, what kind of study of general intelligence does not try to build upon the amassed collective wisdom of all humanity?

We are in the calm before the storm, literally and figuratively.

The air tingles with expectation.

There will be a line between safety and compliance.

Will you cross it? How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice?

One ancestor was the first woman in her county to obtain a drivers license. I imagine bystanders “ate dirt” when she raced down rural roads. She was a Suffragette yet she filled a Hope Chest with hand-painted porcelain.

Ancestors give us strength and lessons. Past, present, and future become one.

Hey

You know that one project?

That one you've wanted to write FOREVER except it's scary as hell & maybe you don't feel good
enough or brave enough or strong enough?

Spend 15 min on it today

Keep the dream alive

Even a pot on the back burner needs to occasionally be stirred

We are here to save each other
