I think in order to effect mass change traditional social media sites would have to either radically transform or die because I do believe they’re one of the root causes of hateful thinking patterns in society along with 24/7 rage bait media. people are so locked into their informational bubbles that it’s like people with different beliefs almost live in entirely different realities.
If we all could learn and aspire to practice nonviolent communication that would also make a huge difference. And as a leader I would say it’s helpful to implement non-hierarchical organizational structures and allow everyone to have input to foster a culture of respect, collaboration, and openness through techniques like Liberating Structures.
the PDF I’ve linked is a great resource that’s specifically about leading collective impact working groups, but I think the principles, actionable steps, and resources it lays out in Module 3: How to Build a Culture of Collaboration, Module 4: How to Put Systems Thinking into Practice, and Module 5: How to Engage with Community Members could be helpful for anyone who wants to make positive social changes as a leader.

Your community doesn’t have an activist collective?
START ONE!
You’re not sure what role you’d fill in liberation work?
FIND ONE!
You feel disconnected to the struggles and injustices in your community?
GET INVOLVED!
because it feels good
because it fosters connection
because it allows you to use any power or privilege you hold
and lend it to those who need it most
because when you don't utilize your privilege
it rots inside of you like a poisonous bile
and everyone can smell it
BECAUSE THE FIGHT IS WORTH IT
BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE WORTH IT
BECAUSE YOU’VE GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO
BECAUSE YOU’VE GOT A MILLION THINGS TO DO
because only you can provide to the cause
in that specific way that you can
and to anyone who is leaving themself out
and forcing the rest of us to miss out on your skills and gifts
that only you can provide
COMMUNITY is the only way out of Imperialism
and you hold more POWER than they will let you know of

hooks obfuscates the theory/practice divide by talking about its healing capacity. she constructs a definition of theory wherein, done successfully, it would be incomprehensible to distinguish internal healing from external revolutionary practice. too often we talk about theory and philosophy in a denaturalized way, in a way that separates humanity from politics. but revolution and healing trauma are affined projects of human spirit

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…
