Utilizing the Tuesday Night Cafe Project and my life's work BUILDing with people, to create TIME and SPACE. What we need to struggle for goes beyond large sums of money for projects and budgets that may change on the whim of a grant proposal and the things we do to get that final payment. When we are self-sustaining artists, organizations, activists...we are then a self-sustaining body that is taking care of itself, allowing ourselves the power to conduct and construct our own structures and infrastructure...our own practices based on philosophies and missions that we create from our deeper knowledge of peoples history, struggle, and the external (and internalized) forces of fear - greed, racism, judgement, entitlement, pseudo-liberalism, we need to be the ones steering our own bodies, communities, the land...geez, wait a sec, this is so serious...who even reads this, tra? let's see how long before someone even notices...if someone really wants to know, we'll then move on to "space" and "time" and "mission" "vision" "struggle" - haHAA! you're a little fool, tra. you need to get off the computer now. you're writing to yourself...hmm, i guess that's what all of these boxes are for. hAA! heehee. now you're laughing with yourself... interests: true compassion and the drive to seek and draw out, the positive/passionate/truthful aspects in a person, [beyond the (self-)loaded term of "diplomacy" - i try to find something interesting in a person, but i do not care to lie in order for the person to like me back]. interests: experiments. honesty. self-criticism. checking myself. checking others. understanding the tendencies of my sign and numerology but never getting locked in to it. understanding the tendencies of other's signs but never letting ourselves lock folks in to those descriptions. okay, now you really need to get off the computer.
