💔 Alice Wong’s last words: “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.”

We can never thank Alice enough for fighting all the good fights and especially all the hard fights. We all learned so much from your brilliance, your courage, and your indefatigable leadership. We will never forget you.

“Too often we underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.” Leo Buscaglia

Human kindness creates moments that matter. 🧡

Kindness isn’t about grand gestures - it’s in the quiet moments, the small choices, and the way we show up for each other when it matters most.

Be kind, always. 🧡

“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely.“Clarissa Pinkola Estes

When the 16-21 year old people in the house learned most of their 80s and 90s music knowledge by listening to Weird Al and often comment “oh this is the real version.” 😂

If your organization rests on values of welcoming and inclusion, please consider offering event t-shirt ranges beyond S,M, L. Or consider options other than sized clothing.

“Protect your heart, deepen your spirit, find and hold on to your community, rest, practice radical joy.” Yes!
The current state of the world is a constant deluge of BS and difficulties on all levels. Some of this is intentional by people in power, some is trauma response to it, some is “shit happens.”

Protect your heart, deepen your spirit, find and hold on to your community, rest, practice radical joy.

“Don’t run around looking for ways to be angry.” Wise words from a mentor from a long time ago. But I’m sitting with this thought, holding and rocking it today, and also contemplating things that aren’t mine to carry. 💙

I find this quote helpful when overwhelmed: “Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.”
