"I'm still hardcore" she whispers to herself as she closes down the library on a school night learning about all the fruit trees and bushes she ordered.

Living in this timeline is the most annoying group project ever.

I’m telling everyone. Don’t come to the US unless you absolutely have to.

It’s not safe.

It’s not fun.

I am sorry it’s not a refuge for the poor, the starving, or the huddled masses.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

Now is the time to make a plan for spring!
