    Thank goodness for this amazing young woman's brilliant mind and beautiful words. With this last week of losing Desmond Tutu, then Betty White, it's felt like watching darkness creep over the world, slowly at first then all at once. I needed the Light of this poem today. Love to you all. Happy new year. 🖤

I think Amanda is aware, yet doesn't yet realize deep enough how powers like the elite may use her believe in we, to sedate us with hope. I hope my cynic side is wrong. I hope it helps the billionaires to wake up and help save the planet. But for now, their PR campaigns and philanthropy just seem to hide self enrichment, corruption at the cost of everything else. And Amanda filmed in this rich setting and dress, inspires me and yet I feel sedated at the same time. And that hurts.
