Raymond Williams said, "To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing." Currently reading Let This Radicalize You, and I'm really feeling this quote. Hope creates change, not despair.

Coping with the real world by stitching tiny bunnies in tiny jackets. A hedgehog friend might join him. And some happy little trees.

I know outrage fatigue is a real thing during this all-out assault on democracy, human rights, and any progress we've made in the past several decades. Stay loud. And if you have the means, donate money to the folks filing the lawsuits.

From Black Liturgies, Cole Arthur Riley

Too often, we idolize a "middle" stance as more rational, more fair, more loving. We wear it as its own kind of moral superiority.
But virtue is not synonymous with neutrality. Sometimes integrity demands a choice.

Confession: Even if I knew nothing about Robin Wall Kimmerer or Maria Popova, I'd still have purchased these books simply because they're so pretty.

Two books: The Universe in Verse, by Maria Popova, and The Serviceberry, by Robin Wall Kimmerer.
