“Let this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair.” - Mariame Kaba
i am fueled by my love for humanity and dreams of a better world! i have also made wonderful community and friends through organizing / protesting / volunteering that makes being involved energizing rather than draining 💞 in my union etc. and balanced with books, time outside, therapy, movies, baking. :)
Kelly Hayes just published this great post on her blog that you might find really helpful: From Aspiration to Action: Organizing Through Exhaustion, Grief, and Uncertainty
also pinned to my profile is a long list of ways -for any skill/time/interest/experience - to get involved that Mariame Kaba made :) and there’s a worksheet linked at the top of that doc that is a guide to figuring out what might be the best way to plug in if you aren’t sure where to start

I have been thinking long and hard about this question and tried to figure out who or what exactly inspires me as a muse - my family is the muse For me
my upbringing was quite blue collar as far as my parents line of work, I definitely lived in the kind of place where people would not move elsewhere to get their lives “started“ so to speak - prospects of any future or different way of life was unheard of. This was the case for them. Life was not always easy for my mother (ambitions of education, no knowledge of any resources to go to college, having kids young and working) or my dad (parents passed young, in juvenile detention/jail, sobriety issues)
They’re both extremely intelligent and had ambitions of learning and making something bigger than themselves. my mom wanted to be a journalist and sing and my dad was a very talented sculptor in his teens. Life just happens and things changed course.
i saw my parents work so tirelessly and I’m getting to do everything that they wanted for themselves as far as independence and creativity and expanding my horizons for what is possible. they’re going to buy a house soon, she’s almost on her way to retirement and my dad is a year sober. They’re definitely the only muses i have
