I write—I create—to purge my mind, cleanse my spirit, and give my body reasons to continue on... May humanity be made a bit better for this journey I continue to undertake.

For me, it's as simple as that. 🖤🤍 #indieauthor #writer
I fear the dangerous precedent has been set for people with seedy motives to call ICE on others as not only a power-play but also as a means to boost their status/profile in this current sociopolitical climate. (1/2) ⬇️

A very interesting video by that relates to why the act of embracing "rest" is resistance in this world. To reject "the chase" by reclaiming our space of existence is when we can begin to allow life to be poured back into our being. (1/2) ⬇️ #humanity #existence

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

To be depressed, or to not fully know if you are depressed...? That is the question 😮‍💨

As soon as something is commodified, it slowly gets stripped of its raw essence and origins. As soon as that something is fed into the mass production machine, it's further stripped of its soul and meaning. (1/2) ⬇️ #society #humanity

This is why algorithms thrive on strong emotion to drive discourse & trend. But tapping into such intense energy often takes a toll on our body, psyche, & spirit.

Our depletion means a thriving algorithm.

Embrace your pause for reflection as we continue being flooded with the "sensational."
Society's affinity towards sensationalism is what drives us into easily falling prey to reactionary behavioral conditioning. #society #psychology #sociology

For the past several years now, I've come to see religion and faith as two separate mediums, both with the ability to co-exist with one another as well as the ability to operate separately.

@blockclubchi.bsky.social, our nonprofit newsroom, is suing the federal government after 4 of our journalists were shot w/ pepper-spray bullets & tear-gassed by federal agents at Broadview.

Here's why we're defending our First Amendment right to report — and your right to know:

And we are seeing those consequences play out in real time. 😔 Get busy, people.
The "until it happens to me" adage is the very reason why history keeps repeating itself. Be proactive in thinking and acting OUTSIDE of yourself to ensure it never reaches you or those you care about. That's why the work is truly never done. #philosophy #society #humanity

I knew the truth, but I was being really nice with the timeline trying to soften the blow of reality for people.

Hopefully, more people are awake now? 🤷🏾‍♀️🫠
I understand why people say they're worried about or have to make it through "the next 4 years."

However, what may be the next 4yrs for you is really the next 10-15yrs minimum for you. What may be the next 10-15yrs for you, will be the next 40+yrs for others. #policy #society #humanity

I still stand by what I said... Build your #community archives. Connect with your local groups. Start strategizing what skills you can contribute or build and what resources you can share with those around you, especially with the most vulnerable.

Act, as if you needed to yesterday.
Organize at least 80% offline, 20% digitally. Community action is under far more surveillance than in the past w/ social media, AI tools, digital bots, etc. Don't make it easier for institutions to slow down #activism.

Continue to be strategic during these times as you build #community locally.

On a more serious note, I was thinking about what people that were that deep in it, prepped for it (sold their property, quit their jobs, etc.), and made their peace with it do when they find out they were wrong? 👀

That's actually the thing that probably scares me most about this.
So... the rapture. You'd think people were preparing to be beamed up into a giant UFO descending from the sky. I thought our fellow space brethren were fleeing from our little blue rock. Has the intergalactic invasion of Earth begun? And more importantly, will I have enough time for brunch? 🧐

Part 1 of Infinity Castle was awesome! And even though I knew what was coming, I still wasn't ready 😭. Though the movie was definitely worth the wait 🥰

Maybe no one is truly ever ready for a revolution. I imagine no one is ready to put either their livelihoods or lives at stake, especially after being long conditioned by a society of convenience to lean into stability. (1/2) ⬇️ #activism #community #society

If you're tuned in to what's happening in the U.S. and you are beside yourself regarding what lies ahead if we do not course-correct, I urge you to watch the film, "In the Time of the Butterflies" (2001). (1/2)⬇️
