"I shut my eyes and I am seeing what no one else sees. I am feeling the flex and rhythm of reality, the contractions of possibility." (p. 17) I just started @nkjemisin.bsky.social's "The City We Became", only a chapter in, but loving it so much. the language, the imagery, the ideas, the NYC.

Reminder: When you feel overwhelmed, you will choose a healthy way to cope. Its healthy to take a break to rest or have fun. You will not feel guilty when you do. You can lean on others for support. You're not alone in this. You choose to be optimistic. I'm proud of you

challenge: when i take time and space to journal, and think big, i get inspired, and have lots of ideas about how to live in more alignment with my values and desires, and projects i want to make space for, but in the day to day, i get kind of lost / disconnected from that (1/?)

ok. i'm going to experiment a little here. i'm going to try to post daily ish. partly to help clarify some ideas, and also to practice putting my thoughts and ideas out into the world. that's it for now. instead of trying to succinctly articulate 500 thoughts I've had while prepaaaaring to start

particularly appreciated this in our mini seder the other night: "The maror stimulates our senses, let us use it as a stimulus to action to remind us that struggle is better than complicit acceptance of injustice. [1/3]

"Just when you've filled your mind and your heart with the horror (or, in other cases, the joy, or the significance) of an event, another one comes along to wipe it away. How do you grow up in an environment like that? For creativity, things need to settle in. (1/2)

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

Phang: So, as we can see you have a DHS official—you clearly hear him say on that body cam footage, “I am arresting the mayor. Even though he stepped out, I’m going to put him in cuffs.” Who told him to do it? He says: the Deputy Attorney General… And who’s that? Todd Blanche.
