not perfect and not trying to be...

Be the reason someone feels safe, seen, and supported.

“Until liberation and return”

Poster seen in Berlin

i believe palestine will be free with my whole heart. the dutch colonized indonesia for 300 years, indonesians, even those who practice indigenous religion, are still here. west papuans are fighting for their independence from indonesia and american settlers, and they are still here. the invasion and bombings of vietnam, laos, and cambodia lasted for 20 years, and i have met some of the most brilliant asian people descended from there. and that was the first televised war! palestine will be free! from the river to the sea. the indigenous/global south world has always survived, and i believe it will live and flourish in the future (in my lifetime) no matter what.

May you attract a love that mirrors your capacity to love.

Say it with me:

I am not afraid to be seen. I do not have to hide myself. I am worthy of occupying space. I do not have to dim my light. I am authentically me, and that is my strength.
