I go to find an image on my phone for a work-related social media post. 20 minutes later I have totally forgotten that’s why I picked up my phone, but have posted about a lot of food stuff on non-work-related social media spaces. 🤣

Someone should write posts from an alternate, happier time line to remind us things don’t have to be this way, and it IS possible to co-create a world where everyone (and the natural world) thrives.

I’ve only bought one thing that was locked up, and only because it was something my sick kid needed ASAP. Any time I see locked up products, I decide I don’t need them right then. If I actually need them at some point, I buy from a place that doesn’t lock them up. Often, I never bother buying them.

It’s fun to be in a digital space where no one pays attention to anything I say yet (& maybe never will). 🤭 Reminds me of my first weeks on Twitter long ago. I’d be thrilled if my random comments into the void here lead to the kind community I had over there in the Before Times. (I’m watching Silo.)

Every project I’m working on right now is a reminder of how trust is the foundation of everything. Without it, even the best plans and ideas go nowhere. Yet, trust-building is rarely given the attention, time, and funding it needs and merits.

Last week 4 parents mentioned to me their worry about the safety & future of their LGBTQ+ children in America. These comments arose organically during conversations that, in theory, had nothing to do with their kids’ safety, demonstrating it’s an ever-present fear, impacting everything for them. 💔

It’s such a breath of fresh air to work with people who are focused on supporting a variety of ways of being, doing, and knowing versus expecting or requiring everyone to adhere to one way of being, doing, and knowing.
