WISE UP BOY, TIME'S AT ITS END

as mentioned elsewhere by Fi and Jae Young, tomorrow is International Protest Day.

it's difficult to hold out hope that i, personally, have any power. but we have power, and we have to believe that we have power, if there's enough of us in that "we".

if you're in the Chicagoland area, info on the local event can be found here.

the more of us there are, the more difficult it will be for us to be ignored.

it is far too easy to have no hope for what's to come; i vacillate between this and wanting to believe innumerable times per day. i hope that if there's enough of us, we'll not only reinforce whatever tiny seeds of hope we might have, but also prevail, because this apathy is absolutely killing me. and all of us. what the hell is wrong with us?

we absolutely should be afraid, but not of what we're told to be afraid of.
