When I accepted all these audio books on Libby I assumed I could finish them. I have 9 days and 53 hours to get through, plus the other books waiting to be listened at two day intervals after. My children don’t need my attention- right? My physical books don’t need me - right?

And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream at the top of my lungs

Today on National Indigenous Peoples Day, we celebrate the cultures and languages of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples.

Take time to learn whose land you’re on and listen to Indigenous voices - not just today, but every day.

I'll say it over and over.

I do not believe in gate keeping.

I do not believe in pulling up the ladder.

I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next.

Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

It took decades for corporations to reach this pinnacle of control over the globe - coup governments, change laws in their favour & get governments to militarize police against their citizens - who on the left is strategizing to get us out? Where is the decades long strategic plan?
