"I'm not telling you to make the world better. I'm telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, but to live in it. To look at it. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work & take pride in it. To seize the moment"- Joan Didion ("RESURGUM", pencil on paper)

I pledge resistance to the guns
Of the United States of America.
And to the Republic, which sits on its hands,
One nation crying, “Oh my God!”,
Incomprehensible,
With bullets & heartache for all 🇺🇸

“But what can I do?”
If you’re a healer, heal.
If you’re a speaker, speak.
If you’re an artist, create.
If you’re an organizer, organize.
Do what you do.
But for any hope of a better world, do something.
If you’re a healer, heal.
If you’re a speaker, speak.
If you’re an artist, create.
If you’re an organizer, organize.
Do what you do.
But for any hope of a better world, do something.
