When I was a very suicidal trans activist in Texas, Benjamin Sisko saying “sure, you would [die for your people]. Dying gets you off the hook. The question is: are you willing to live for your people?” changed and possibly saved my life. It’s up there with “if we are going to be damned, let us be damned for who we really are” from Picard. Star Trek not only shows us a better world, it teaches us how to make it there

Not to sound like a fuckin hippie but please for the love of god start noticing and appreciating the natural world around you. You don’t have to go hike the entire Appalachian trail or anything and I get that not everyone has access to the outdoors for various reasons, but just fucking … look around you when you’re outside. Notice the sky and the sun and the birds and creatures. Start caring about them. I’m begging you.

Created for my upcoming book Ergo Cosmos!

"But what a formidable challenge to tame a Hippogryph and quell its savage spirit with an iron helm! Most who endeavor to do so find themselves captive to its enchanting gaze, ensnared by a majestic, sensual fantasy from which they shall never awaken."

Literally just a really good exercise to develop genuine empathy for the global south and have your antiimperialist sentiment more grounded and being aware of how you benefit from it is just. Holding a product in your hand and think about all of the people who made it possible. not only who harvested the coffee beans from your instant and who roasted them or who harvested the cotton from your shirt and who spun at and wove it, but also who made the paper, plastic, cardboard, inks of the packaging, who delivered the goods necessary from one place to another, all the way to your supermarket, store of your convenience, or even your home.
