“an accomplished master gardener, told me: You can’t tug on spring shoots of new plants. You have to wait. They are setting deep roots. You can’t grow a crop by pulling on leaves and stalks. You just create the right conditions… and you wait.”
― Jen Hatmaker, Awake: A Memoir

“I Am Not Your Cup of Tea” I am not your cup of tea because I am made too strong and frankly, too hot for you to enjoy maybe you can tolerate me in tiny sips but I don’t want to be tolerated. I want to be devoured by those who value all I am and who do not wish I was in any way watered down to meet your tepid tastes. ~David Gate, A Rebellion of Care”

“Sending love to my sisters with the prescriptions, be they long-term or short-term. Well done. You are taking the best possible care of yourselves, and I am proud of you. There is zero shame in this, unless we should be ashamed of creating strong, steady lives for ourselves and the people we love.”

“For democracy to function, we need more people who care about their communities to step up and help shepherd our country into the future. Preferably one that doesn't resemble The Handmaid's Tale or The Day After Tomorrow.”

“This work of leaving, of aiming to challenge power on the field where it maintains the least glaring asymmetry, demands one answer the question: What are you willing to give up to alleviate someone else’s suffering? It makes it impossible for one so engaged to not understand, with terrible clarity, that under the auspices of this machine, the prevailing answer echoing from the mouths of so many of one’s own neighbors is: Nothing at all.”
― Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This
