As we end the month, I am still reflecting on Remembrance Day, the US election, the state of the world, the future and my place in it.

Here are some links that have resonated with me.

“Voting can not be the only way we engage in our democracy… Real change demands ongoing engagement in our democracy–not just casing a ballot every four years.” – On Canada Project

Microdosing hope – Brené Brown

“The working poor are like the ultimate philanthropists. They are giving us their safety, their security, their time so that the rest of us can get stuff that’s cheap. There are a lot of costs to that kind of cheapness and we all bear them.” – Peter Goodman paraphrasing Barbara Ehrenreich

“You are awakening to the same country you fell asleep to.” – Venice Williams

“Black, Indigenous, Queer, Disabled Peoples are all still here, still doing the work that helps us all survive.” – Allen Salway
