Back when I watched football I was a fantasy football champion...

When I stopped watching I thought I would miss it more

Our bodies just mean more to me than the game.

Economy means management of home - what if we all had the tools, power, and resources to manage our homes in healthy, cooperative, and abundant ways?

I have this feeling that this weekend is the LAST weekend.

It isn't there will be many more weekends.

My mantra is I don't have to fit it all in

Parable of the sower is AN incredible work because Octavia Butler looked around at current conditions and made predictions. She saw what where we were going wrong and issued a warning - the good news we can take a page from her book, make predictions AND TAKE COLLECTIVE ACTION. We can change course

This is fucked up.

Also why is the reparations body only 3 members?? Seems like there is a better formation likely including an expert like a survivor of this reproductive violence or maybe even a person with a medical degree

What if instead of banning tiktok we democratized corporations? rather than offering unchecked power we could build people power

California considers these workers good enough to save lives while incarcerated, but not upon release.

As wildfires blaze through a megadrought-stricken California, nearly a third of the state’s wildfire crews are incarcerated workers.

Praying for all my people in California and reminding us all that incarcerated people are out here risking their lives to put out fires.

Wherever you are is the right place to dream

Dreaming isn’t idle—it’s a rigorous practice that requires patience. As we step into 2025, let’s dream boldly and build intentionally. What’s one future you’re ready to see?

A note for the end of the day: The world is relentless, and so much feels out of our control. But you made it here. Your soft moments, your hard edges, your resilience—they all matter. Let yourself rest. Tomorrow is another chance.

Let’s normalize saying: “That wasn’t my best,” and “your safety and joy matter to me.” We don’t have to be perfect to be good. Apologizing, course-correcting, and holding space for others isn’t weakness—it’s strength.

Take a deep breath. Hold it for a few seconds and let it out slowly. You’re human, and being human in this world is hard. But the fact that you’re still here, still trying, still showing up even when it’s messy—that means something.
