There, I fixed gravity

Hello Loves,

They say we can’t just protest what we don’t want. We have to show them what we want, too.

So last evening of the full moon, shackled with insomnia, I imagined utopia.

::: How to Fix Gravity :::

We can become *starlight* again, when…..

• politics becomes boring, and news is carried on the wind

• every child gets a village of aunties and uncles, even neurodivergent ones

• schools are not modeled after factories, but constructivist, community-based, and beautiful (think Montessori)

• arts and play are integrated into every subject -- because “create” is top-tier in Bloom’s Taxonomy of critical thinking skills

• parents give up their time to volunteer in the classroom, because society is not structured around profit, but community

• every town has a free music festival -- because Folk Fest, Juneau, Alaska

• children aren’t encouraged to leave home when they turn 18 so they can go produce, but families become larger and multigenerational, moving into larger compounds as people take lovers, some bear children, and no child “belongs” to anyone else

• family is matriarchal and matrilineal -- because duh

• government is run by women + the work week is four days long -- because Finland

• public transportation: trains, buses, bicycles, scooters; everyone walks everywhere and is never in a hurry

• time is flexible, fluid, and abundant

• food is nourishing and delicious, and not just produced to be profitable

• people who earn income past a certain threshold are taxed marginal tax at 80 to 90% -- because “build back America” post-depression

• everyone contributes income to shared community services

• people rely on one another, and social emotional skills are taught before reading, writing and ‘rithmetic

• joy, leisure, music, laughter, beauty are prioritized

• people are in touch with nature, living off the land as much as possible, listening to the cycle of nature

• women decide their daily tasks depending on where they are in their menstrual cycle

• BRING BACK THE MOTHERLOVING RED TENT

• people live in ways that protect the future and honor the past and only use what they need and replenish and reseed what they take -- because time is viewed as eternal and everything is connected

• always giving thanks, always giving back, “if you don’t have, I don’t have”

• the energy you give out is what you get back

Decolonize. Wildernize. Indigenize.
