Mycelium makes deep networks & thrives from decay.
🍄 Be like mycelium. Keep growing in the darkness, transmute the medium into something you can use. Send up flowers & weave your web into the webs of others who support you.
Never give up.
Rest as needed.
This is the call.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

We might heal ourselves, if each human being was taught to learn about themselves; taught that working together creates more benefit than competition; that love & kindness are far more important than money; that community is the way to create equity; and no one is free until all beings are free.

In darkness, find the light
In winter’s cold, find the warmth
Find your community
And use that connection to weave a net of safety and protection
Forward, together
In whatever weather
We will illuminate the darkness, warm the cold spaces, create beauty,
manifest dreams.
Onward, forward, together.

Also, courage is contagious. I continue to stand against American fascism in the hope that others will take heart, too.

In times when a leader takes power who seems to stand against everything we value, it’s easy to slip into despair. But now, more than ever—is the time to hold onto hope. Hope isn’t naive; it’s an act of defiance, a way of refusing to let fear and hate shape our future. Your voice matters.

In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false
