Don't talk to us or our son ever again.
It's such a good show. Give Noah Wyle an Emmy.

Big questions for a sleepy Sunday. Lots of learning to be done.
9/9
How do we care for communities that have been exploited by industry, but also have that industry tied to their identity? How do we care for and find justice for those that are victims of environmental racism?
In an incredibly interconnected and complex world, what can I do?
8/9
What does this all mean for how I live my life? How can I develop community? What can I do in my career to create the world I want to see? How can I care for people and land? How do we support labour? How do we build better systems that reflect our ethics, but also provide for our social needs?
7/9
I want to live in a society where the currency of exchange is gratitude and the infinitely renewable resource of kindness, which multiplies every time it is shared rather than depreciating with useβ.
6/9
a sense of belonging and relationship and purpose and beauty, which can never be commoditized. I want to be part of a system in which wealth means having enough to share, and where the gratification of meeting your family needs is not poisoned by destroying that possibility for someone else.

Today I finished reading The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer, and this passage really hit me, "I cherish the notion of the gift economy, that we might back away from the grinding system, which reduces everything to a commodity and leaves most of us bereft of what we really want:

The lithium in the battery wasn't grown. If we get on a plane for a vacation, or to visit far away friends, to some extent, we support oil. Even when I think about all the processes it took to get me a jar of my favorite peanut butter, extractive land use is weaved in.
3/9
If we have a smart phone, to some extent, we support the large scale mining operations that it took to produce that phone. We may not feel direct support for the corporations or practices involved, but at the very least we support the concept of mining with the power of our dollar.
2/9
Thinking a lot about the ethics of consumption today.
There's this really great Anthony Bourdain quote from his time in West Virginia, "what cannot be grown, must be mined". I appreciate both the practicality and the plain truth of that statement.
1/9
I'm not a comic artist, but I really love me some hourly comics day. Thanks to everyone who shared their big little lives for the day β₯οΈ

I USUALLY BRING YOU BEANS ON TOAST. IT'S A RECURRING BIT.
V funny/not funny how often I read or learn about urban design/city planning and then someone says, "and then Robert Moses happened". Truly the bad guy of how to build a city.
All I want is a billboard in a town square to see what my friends are up to, and also have the people who own the billboard not openly contribute to harming queer people and such.
β¨Maybe this is that billboardβ¨
