"Hoping things will change requires active participation. And if folks laugh and say it makes no difference, let them laugh, and carry on with your hope. Hope is not day-dreaming. Hope is not passive. We risk ourselves."

-Jeanette Winterson, Substack January 2025

If you aren’t following @altnps.bsky.social , you need to. They are restoring my hope. And @ariellaelm.bsky.social too!

I would love to connect with writers and artists and others who believe in democracy and the power of the people to preserve our humanity.

I got one of those special invites a couple years ago and signed up for blue sky then never posted. I wasn’t good at tweeting so we’ll see how this goes! 🙂
