It's almost as if Trump, Musk, and the architects of Project 2025 read Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents and were like, "Yea, that world sounds good."

A quote to consider as I re-enter the classroom for the new year: "The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind." -David Orr

"This is the solstice, the still point
of the sun, its cusp and midnight,
the year’s threshold
and unlocking, where the past
lets go of and becomes the future"
