Eating well. Hydrating. Resting. Lightening the load. Preparing for a new way.
Took a group photo earlier and told the person next to me that there is no way I was in that photo. Just saw the photo online. I am perfectly blocked by the person in front of me. 🤣 I must've really nailed my look today.
Waiting for luggage at 3am with a full day of meetings starting at 8.30am, starting two weeks of long, heavy meetings... A bit concerning. Lol. Everything is fiiiiiiiiine.

"Harmful systems always need good marketing. They need a good face[...] Good rhetoric, buzzwords, and one way is through using diversity[...] It makes it more palatable, it puts people's guard down, so they're not as critical."

A campaign I ran that people hated so much that they did exactly what I wanted them to do. It was subversive and beautiful.
Last question - What are you proud of?

This is the end of today's episode of QuestionSky. As always, I love you more and I'll see you in the next thread, cousins 😌

I can never really tell. Oblivious to such things.
19. When did you realize they fell in love with you?
Pretty silly, actually.
18. How does it feel to be in love?
Ummm... One that comes to mind is Make Me Whole by Amel Larrieux, buuuuut I don't buy the half/whole thing.
17. What is the most romantic song you have ever heard?
If they agreed, they would take action to stop funding the genocide and ensure that aid is distributed to every person in Gaza.
Left and right, Republicans and Democrats, Americans agree: the starvation in Gaza is unacceptable.

You know what a lot of kids in Gaza have? Medical issues

Both pre and post genocide medical issues- first because people with disabilities just exist- but in Gaza a lot of people have their disabilities because of environmental violence where Israel has attacked their food and water supplies
A quilt. Each square by a different person in my life. A way to get different perspectives and put a piece in the world that has purpose, like I do.
16. If you had to pick any art medium to describe you (it could be a movie, a song, a book, or a art piece), what would it be and why?

*If you are feeling bold, you can do all four*
I'm not into movies. When questions about movies come up, I get STUCK. Lol.
15. If you were given the opportunity to time travel to watch a movie on opening night in theaters, what movie would you pick?
I go with intuition, but I usually click with people who are doing something to make the world better for people in situations of vulnerability.
14. What is something that makes you instantly click with someone?
I'm living a very different life from them. Opposites don't even really make sense in our context. I could say I won't work for one company for many years and I won't have children.
13. What did your parents do that you will do the opposite of?
All things neoliberal.
12. What is something we glorify in American culture that's actually extremely toxic?
You already know!
11. George Carlin once said, “Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.” What is a good example of that?
Men get criticized?
😂
10. What is a trait that is praised in women but criticized in men?
