“In the poem, “A Gathered Distance,” Mark Tredinnick articulates this well. He writes: A garden is never Finished, and nor are you: Become, I think, a garden again, And never, like a garden, cease.”
Kara Swisher, Burn Book: A Tech Love Story

Kai Cheng Thom
“Safety is, I believe, an inherently classed, raced, and gendered experience that frequently runs the risk of being used for regressive ends—ironically, for restricting the freedoms of the vulnerable, those who are never really safe. Often, we see the call for safety actually reinforce the power of oppressive institutions, like the police and the prison system, in our lives. When we choose safety over liberation, our movements fail.”
Kai Cheng Thom, I Hope We Choose Love: A Trans Girl's Notes from the End of the World

Brené Brown
“The courage to be vulnerable is not about winning or losing, it’s about the courage to show up when you can’t predict or control the outcome.”
Brené Brown, Dare to Lead: Brave Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts.

Kai Cheng Thom
“When you’re a child trapped in a situation of physical or psychological deprivation, you learn shame as an efficient, elegant mechanism of survival: shame simultaneously shields you from the reality that danger is out of your control (since the problem is not that you’re unloved and deprived; it’s that you’re Bad) and prevents you from doing or saying anything challenging that might provoke a threat.”
Kai Cheng Thom, I Hope We Choose Love: A Trans Girl's Notes from the End of the World

“Ma. You once told me that memory is a choice. But if you were god, you'd know it's a flood.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
