Here’s a video so you can hear the water and the thrushes. I took it for you because you couldn’t be there. <3
I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.
no matter the outcome of this election: organize, build local community, build strength in masses. elections aren't the only time politics happen, it also happens on the streets, in the community and by mutually supporting each other.
the way forward is together. we build power from the ground up. in the US and everywhere else in the world.
a better world is possible and we can start building it now, by ourselves. anarchism starts in the now.

don't you think going out in the woods would be great? don't you think seeing sunlight peaking through the trees would be beautiful? don't you think hearing the soft breeze caress all the leaves would be healing? don't you think breathing the clean and natural forest air would be truly marvellous? What about all the soft moss, don't you think touching it would be wonderful? don't you think that?
