“Estrangement has truly been, and will always be, the best decision of my life.” It's a dream for my words to be quoted in The New York Times. Thank you Catherine Pearson for interviewing me for "The Pain of Sibling Breakups" in Well. @nytimes.com
A screenshot of The New York Times article "The Pain of Sibling Breakups" includes the dek: "Family estrangement can bring up big, difficult emotions, and it's not always about parents and children." Beneath that is a pastel drawing of a photograph with four people. One person on the bottom right corner is torn away, and looks longingly towards the other three.

So thankful to launch my second batch of postcards featuring my original photography at the Survivor Made Market at Free From's Survivor Wealth Summit. They're available online now: ko-fi.com/s/f5e9205c7b
Anesce Dremen, a red-head with curly hair wearing a teal dress and blue glasses, stands behind a table with white cloth where 30 postcards are strewn across the table. A customer wearing a red shirt looks down at the postcards. Additional vendors, all survivors, sell their goods in tables behind the back. Bold letters are painted on the back wall and read: INVEST IN SURVIVORS.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!
A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

As ever, on #元宵節 #LanternFestival
—the first full moon of the lunar year, when lanterns light up the night.

A well-known 11th c. lyric attributed to statesman Ouyang Xiu 歐陽修 and also to woman poet Zhu Shujen 朱淑真

#everynightapoem (slightly tweaked my old translation)
去年元夜時，花市燈如晝。 月上柳梢頭，人約黃昏後。 今年元夜時，月與燈依舊。 不見去年人， 淚濕春衫袖。 Last year on Lantern Festival Night, Market streets glowed brilliant as day. As the moon rose above the willow tree's tips, My beloved and I met by dusk's dim glow. This year on Lantern Festival Night, The moon and bright lights remain. No longer catching sight of last year's beloved, My sleeves grow damp and thin - as my tears flow. “Lantern Festival Night’元夕•生查子，an 11t century ci lyric by Ouyang Xiu 歐陽修， alternately attributed to Zhu Shuzhen **X** (trans. Eileen Chengyin Chow)

Here is a script you can use for any issue. Find your reps' # at reps.fyi or 5calls.org. Every time you see a news story that horrifies you: call, or something else about it. It matters to say what you believe. You are setting a norm.
Hi, my name is [NAME], I'm a constituent in [ZIP CODE]. I'm calling because I saw that [TERRIBLE THING] is happening. I think this is appalling. [PERSONAL STORY, if you have one.] I want you to do everything you can to stop this. I will remember your actions when I cast my next vote. Thank you.

If your boss or company tells you to do something unethical: don't say yes. Make them write it down.

If they won't put it in writing yourself. Send an email (bcc yourself?): "Following our conversation on x date at x time regarding x, I am writing to clarify your directives. According to my notes, you instructed me to A, B, and C. If any of this is incorrect, please advise. I have some concerns."
