Only then will the loving fantasies of our better nature transform into reality. The work and fight for the dream persists, and what’s more, it is not just a fight, but fate—that perhaps we are as destined for this time as it is destined for us.

Peace Is Not Passive:
remember what we are working toward.

I’m from the States but studying at the University of Galway, Ireland! I really want to give historical / sociological context to politics and would love to do investigative work through audio (The Trojan Horse Affair was a big inspiration). I’ve been developing some ideas for small projects here.

I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers | Rebecca Shaw Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg’s desperation to be cool as they suck up to Donald Trump is so cringe it makes my skin crawl

Finished my first semester of college and
I looked in the mirror and

Wander into a new year
