Oftentimes, when we experience a work of art—like a painting, a poem, a performance, a film, or a song—we are asked how the piece made us feel or what it made us think about or what it helped us remember. I wish more people asked, “What did the piece help you forget?”

Standards for how well people should remember are often unattainable.

Sometimes, you have to speak up. Other times, you have to act out.

I yearn for connection even in silence.

Titles don't make leaders, nor does leadership require titles.

Fun birthday fact since today is mine!

A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus.

The difficulty, of course, is knowing when Venus' actual date of birth was, as our archives don't have its birth certificate.

Don't spend a year (Earth or Venusian) thinking about this.

Reminder that you are not a brand. You are a complex, nuanced, flawed, multi-faceted human being. Be kind to yourself and give yourself some grace.

Our hierarchies have become so normal people forget they were invented.

Something has never sat well with me about the term "marginalized voices." "Marginalized voices" seems to reduce complex histories of systematic oppression to a passive phrase that obscures both the oppressors and the fullness of peoples' experiences and existence, both historically and presently.

Despite this, it’s vital to embrace your individuality and intellectual or artistic pursuits, even when they challenge conventional understanding.
Friendly reminder:

It’s not always that you don’t make sense, are unclear, or that your ideas lack meaning—often, it’s that others struggle to connect with your ideas, miss the value in your insights, interpret things differently, or have perspectives that don’t align.

Question:

Have you ever considered how far back in time and space you’d need to go before speakers of your language would no longer understand you and perceive your speech as a foreign language?

The Future is more ancient
than the Past.
The gray hairs on its beard
outnumber those
of History’s youth.

The Past is the child of Time.
Humbled by its mortality
it matures.

I dream of a dream
and that dream dreams of me,
yet it still doesn’t know
where to find me.

Colonialism's perpetuation relies on controlling narratives + language + knowledge systems that alienate colonized peoples from their true identities/senses of self. #Decolonization thus requires reclaiming the "power to narrate" via cultivating new decolonial stories, mythologies, & symbolic praxis

When living under oppressive systems, the simple act of standing up and sharing personal stories that go against the mainstream is a political act.
