A rare pink winter rose in Oregon, behind a fence. Beauty and pain.

"Hope does not mean saying this is not bad, and it does not mean saying that we can defeat it. It just means saying we will keep showing up. That we will not give up. ...we do not know how it will unfold, and neither do those we oppose."

From @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social's Meditations in an Emergency

Your dreaming and planning is called HOPE and it is a necessity during chaos. People like you are how and why we move forward and out

@millieabecassis.com 's The Color of Time is Shiraki Press' third title this year, arriving on May 19, 2026!

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
