a dance floor's not a dance floor if you're not on it! let's make this dance-off fall - boring hipsters and golden squids alike, beware!

Anissa is the wise one who always seems to be playing dance dance revolution. I secretly want to be invited over for tea to hear her stories.

hey anissa. i've been thinking about you these past few weeks as all hell breaks loose in the middle east. it's such a hard thing to talk about, and i always think of the amazing job an olive on the sedar plate did of educating people about that complicated history and opening up a space for dialogue where progressive american jews could say that they both supported israel and opposed the occupation and military brutality. i wish there were more voices like that around these days. i hope you're doing well!

About Me:
Slightly performative when it comes to that, but not so
manic that I'm not listening. Humidity gets to me, as
does the US War Machine, the school-to-prison pipeline, and the fact that we're on the verge of global catastrophe/climate shift/toxicity. But there is so much insight and
energy
to change whatever-this-is lurking in all these tiny
places, so I've got to be optimistic. Oh, and I say
things, mantra-like: equitable community development; home
is truth i find many places; life is long and the universe is expansive; realm of potentiality.
Who I Want to Meet:
People with good ideas about what we need to do to stop
all
the devastation being caused by the Ten White Men and
their
corporate pets. Someone who can teach me how to make my homebase into a beacon of green energy and sustainable food practices. Anyone who has a mixtape in their back pocket for me. People who believe that all genders are transcendent.

Teachers with amazing lesson plans about young women's empowerment, hip hop, eliminating run on sentences, and envisioning a better world.

Those who can imagine happy endings.

And
anyone who wants to sit and banter.
