ADOPT AN ARTIST (save the world) :

I've been organizing in my town, volunteering for an immigrant organization in the USA and constantly working on projects to help people connect with themselves, each other, and the planet. Currently I'm working on a solarpunk novel that imagines a Utopic future, everything to help us collect ideas and action steps on how to do things for collective liberation.

I teach English and have a writing gig but I don't make a living and being a disabled queer immigrant artist limits my options a bit. Join my Pareon and a monthly tier to be a sponsor of human art, a collaborator to the organization work I do, and a beacon of hope.

The world feels like it is burning. Between corporate greed, the loss of ownership, and a justice system that feels broken, it is easy to feel overwhelmed.

And yet, I am still optimistic.

I am optimistic because of you. Every time you shout at an injustice or refuse to stay quiet, you give me hope. I truly believe there are sunny days ahead because we are fighting for them together. β˜€οΈ

Climate defeatism is a luxury we can't afford. 
It's time to cap the emissions of despair and fuel #radicalhope with both bold vision and concrete steps.

Finally, Jasmine brings #RadicalHope into the discussion, stating that we can understand the history of oppression in our communities and still envision equitable possibilities for better futures. Jasmine shares the story of Mary Lumpkin as an example: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/the-enslaved-woman-who-liberated-a-slave-jail-and-transformed-it-into-an-hbcu-180979757/
The Enslaved Woman Who Liberated a Slave Jail and Transformed It Into an HBCU

Forced to bear her enslaver's children, Mary Lumpkin later forged her own path to freedom

Today is my birthday. Please send me your favourite mastodon accounts to follow. I am getting more and more into solarpunk projects and ethical making with a tinge of #RadicalHope

IDK who needs to hear this right now, but real, expressed, actionable hope for the future is a radical act. Life is remarkably resilient and so are you. And you - YES YOU - can help other life to be, as well.
