Choosing Empathy - Creative Mornings DUB

Clicks and shares are the only metrics we have and in many ways become a currency of disaster and a currency of pain.

Here, in the cold water, I am seeing the same gang of mermaids singing as I always do.

We’re in an echo chamber, where it feels like the world is changing, but it isn’t.

Just because you’re woke, doesn’t mean you’re not still in bed.

It was books that taught me that the things that torment me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who have ever been alive.

Learning about systems of oppression isn’t meant to feel good, it’s just meant to feel.

We’re meant to internalize the effects of these systems of power on other people and we’re meant to feel and then, on the back of that feeling, we can change and make change.

Use what you learn to adjust the reality that you live in, day to day.

The internet is still the wild west; The final frontier of information and experience. Clicks and shares are the only metrics we have and, in many ways, have become a currency of disaster and a currency of pain.

We are in an echo chamber where it feels like the world is changing, but it isn't. The bros don't care.

Feminism is still considered a sub culture, a radical notion.

I’m tired of culture asking women to be brave and share their trauma stories in order to be validated.
