“Attention is the just & loving gaze directed upon an individual reality.” — Iris Murdoch #SeekingTruth #EthicalSTL

Some say, “We all get the same 365 days.” We do share the passage of time, but not the conditions that shape how it’s lived. The challenge is to notice the difference and respond with dignity and solidarity, helping create a more just and caring world for all. ☀ #EthicalSTL #Humanism #Solidarity

Author Sarah Kendzior on the power of us, the work of seeking truth and the courage to know yourself. #ThePowerOfUs #SeekingTruth

It’s bleak when a Victorian cautionary tale pays better than minimum wage. 😬 A “job” should mean stability not constant crisis. Let’s keep choosing empathy and structural change, because charity is not a substitute for justice, fair wages, and dignity. #LivingWage #EconomicJustice #WorkersRights

We should support the creatives who are spreading our values. @friendlyatheist.com #ThePowerOfUs

Congratulations to our friend, James Niebruegge! His poem, inherently mine, was recently published by the American Humanist Association. “this isn’t faith, it’s fire in the spine, the kind that says my meaning is inherently mine.” thehumanist.com/arts_enterta... #EthicalSTL #Humanism #STL

If not now, when do we choose to show up for each other?

If we want our kids to live in a world where they can speak up, organize, & change what’s broken, we have to practice it now. We’re raising our voices for justice, compassion, & human dignity, while helping the next generation do the same. Join us in building a world worth inheriting. #ThePowerOfUs

What if paying attention to each other is the most radical thing we can do right now? 💛 #ThePowerOfUs

For anyone whose hope feels small, tired, or a little broken: she’s still there, quietly breathing with you. 🌿 #QuietHope #SoftStrength #KeepGoing #GentleReminders #YouAreNotAlone #PoetryCommunity #HumanistHope

What good is wealth if people are left to struggle alone? Community care means making sure everyone has what they need to live with dignity. That includes healthcare, education, housing, and wages that sustain real lives. #CommunityCare #ThePowerOfUs #EthicalSTL
