that art hoe

I feel like I’m in a bubble - here but not quite, existing in a slightly different dimension, untouchable. I need connection to live but the bubble keeps me cold and lofty, ever slightly out of reach. I desperately want to be wanted but instead I’m always just watching from the outside. It’s dangerous because it makes me want to go back to that one time when I was wanted, even if it was for all the wrong reasons.

I’m just so desperately lonely, and I keep waiting to catch my break, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting. I can last until graduation in April, I know I can, but what about after? If this stretches infinitely into the beyond, what then?

By the end I was wearing a white robe and broad straw hat, carrying a sword, peeing on the lawn, performing magic on the hilltops. I was deep into some wild conspiracy shit and doing a lot of writing, making a lot of mix tapes. I talked intensely with the tv and radio, and developed in-depth relationships with the characters on “Hill Street Blues.”

If I learned anything from the experience, it is this.

for those who have never heard about it: "Food sovereignty, a term coined by members of Via Campesina in 1996, asserts that the people who produce, distribute, and consume food should control the mechanisms and policies of food production and distribution, rather than the corporations and market institutions that have come to dominate the global food system. It also encompasses the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems. The phrase "culturally appropriate" signifies that the food that is available and accessible for the population should fit with the cultural background of the people consuming it."

food sovereignty is inclusive of both vegan diets and those who cannot go vegan whether it's because of chronic illness, sustenance needs or anything else

it also addresses the economic root cause of animal and land exploitation, ie who controls the means of production and whether their goals are to feed the people or expand profit margins

food sovereignty is an indigenous and peasent led movement that seeks to end the abuse of land and animals by empowering the workers who grow and harvest our food instead of greedy corporations
