Ammonites. Grassroots community organizing. Fashion. Ayurvedic wisdom.

That capitalism is breaking us as a society (and as humans)
That fostering community and a sharing environment will put us back together again
That art matters, and should be paid for and funded as much as other work pursuits
That we wear burnout as a badge of honor (and shouldn't)
That even though times seem dark, it's still a pretty great time to be alive
That social media is both a good tool and a bad habit
That maybe I'm not the only one seeking him - he's also seeking me
That chosen family is just as important as blood family
That upholding patriarchal values hurt both men AND women
That identifying joy in little moments is where eternal happiness is found
That trusting the process is hard, but worth it

Reluctantly wondering if I should get into politics.
