grow my little seedlings.

(nasturtiums + dahlias)

sadly, my eggplants, hollyhocks and violas
died in this heat.

 Dancing in Jaffa is on Netflix! Watch it.

it's a documentary about how one teacher uses

dance as a medium to encourage children

to mutually see the Other as human.

"education is the most powerful weapon

which you can use to change the world."

hiding behind the discreetness of my sunglasses,

and my on-and-off pretending to read,

i couldn't help but observe suburban race relations

playing out in a chlorinated pool

on a sunday afternoon.

According to Slavery Footprint, a slave is:

“anyone who is forced to work without pay,

being economically exploited and is unable to walk away.”

Right now, there are ~27 million slaves globally (!!)

they are making your phone, gutting shrimp,

mining for mica for the glittery sparkles in make-up,

weaving rugs, growing cocoa beans, etc.

The website (Slavery Footprint) has a really well

designed interactive graphic to educate people about

the supply chain and serves as a good reminder

to become an even more critical consumer.

to avoid being hunted, wear orange.
