How can we grow when it's cold out. How to survive when the wolves are. How to feel alive. Mon RovÎa  - Love, a Choice.

Don't Buy Stuff. We have power.

I believe in the sun and the stars, the water, the tides, the floods, the owls, the hawks flying, the river running, the wind talking. They’re measurements. They tell us how healthy things are. How healthy we are, because we and they are the same. – Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually Tribal Leader

When it thunders and lightning and the wind begins to blow, When it thunders and lightning and the wind begins to blow, There's thousands of people They ain't got no place to go. My house fell down, And I can't live there no more. Bessie Smith, Back Water Blues (1927)

Continue to be witnesses of our time; that we must speak out against institutionalized and individual tyranny wherever we found it. Because if left unchecked, it threatened to engulf and subjugate us all―the fire this. ― James Baldwin's Last Interview

It you don't live the only life you have, you wont live some other life, you won't live any life at all. That's the only advice you can give anybody. And it's not advice, it's an observation.

What I tried to do, or to interpret and make clear was that what the Republic was doing to that woman, it was also doing to itself. No society can smash the social contract and be exempt from the consequences, and the consequences are chaos for everybody in the society. ― James Baldwin

Art has to be a kind of confession..The effort, it seems to me, is: if you can examine and face your life, you can discover the terms with which you are connected to other lives, and they can discover, too, the terms with which they are connected to other people. ― James Baldwin

The country has no notion whatever...of what it has done to itself. North and South have yet to assess the price they pay for keeping the Negro in his place; and, to my point of view, it shows in every single level of our lives, from the most public to the most private. ― James Baldwin

"There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment, the time is always now." ― James Baldwin

TO MAKE A DADAIST POEM: #04 And there you are—an infinitely original author of charming sensibility, even though unappreciated by the vulgar herd. When life was broken apart, these cutups were one response to that displacement and hopelessness.

TO MAKE A DADAIST POEM: #03 Next take out each cutting one after the other. Copy conscientiously in the order in which they left the bag. The poem will resemble you.

TO MAKE A DADAIST POEM: #02 Next carefully cut out each of the words that makes up this article and put them all in a bag. Shake gently.

TO MAKE A DADAIST POEM: #01 Take a newspaper. Take some scissors. Choose from this paper an article of the length you want to make your poem. Cut out the article.

The people planted the seeds they'd carried. Snuck to visit one another in the dark of night, sang songs, swapped tales, remembering, remembering. The people planted dreams and hopes. Willed themselves to keep living, living. #1619Project #BornOnTheWater

NO HUMAN IS ILLEGAL

You keep doing what you do, and you let the world change its opinion of you. If you are not proud of who you are, nobody will be. #ArtWalk 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

We must dare to imagine beyond what we've been told is possible. The solutions we need will not come from the same systems that caused this...They'll rise from new voices, those who know what it means to breathe polluted air, to flee rising waters, to endure heat without shelter. - Jerome Foster II

Underground climate roads to northern safety were already wild-built. No government offered legal migration pathway nor formal int'l law definitions. This didn't stop refugees forced to trace the pathways with footsteps. Some stood gentle witness to the passing, some took to shame. #Cannonball
