laurae, a small Native farmer who built up her farm over the last five years, was served a 90-day eviction notice despite being promised by the landowner that she would be given a purchase agreement and the farm would never be sold to another person. Everything she has is in this farm - she’s put thousands of hours of work into it, built her cabin by hand, and invested every penny she’s made back into it. we are fighting to help her get the money to purchase her land before someone else buys it and kicks her - and us, her tenants who had no access to land without her help - off.

she ships her jams & honey, which you can buy here

you can also donate directly to the gofundme here

I know we’re all hurting right now and the world is fucked. but I love laurae and she’s done so much for all the people in her life. She has nowhere to go, no other options for a home, and no means to start over. she is a veteran, a survivor of multiple cancers, and close to fifty. all she wants is to live out her days on her farm till she hands it off to the next generation of farmers and I don’t want to see that simple thing taken away from her.

new love languages:

“let’s figure it out together”

remembering small details

“do you want me to pick you up?”

being comfortably weird together

“i can make time”

being guided through crowds

“do you want to talk about it?”

replies to each text, not just one

“have you eaten?”

asking for your opinion 

“can i get you anything?”

heart to heart talks

“this made me think of you”

going out to the grocery store and knowing what your partner likes and buying it even though they didn't ask you to get anything for them is so soft- like "yes I did get you your favorite snacks because I knew you'd want some later" I want someone to do that for me, I want to do it for someone, I Want It

"have you learned how to drive yet" i have the spirit of friendship in my heart. the joy of lifes little things in my soul. the whimsy of magic. the beautiful enjoyment of nature. the answer is no though

Sometimes you meet someone, and it's so clear that the two of you, on some level, belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another, or you're in love. You meet these people through your life, out of nowhere, under the stangest of circumstances, and they help make you feel alive. I don't know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, but it makes me believe in something.

I think about how hayao miyazaki said that love is two people inspiring each other to live. and to live doesn’t just mean to be alive. living involves finding beauty in the simple moments of being. so to inspire someone to be in awe of the simplicity of living? that’s special

don’t be afraid to reach out. tell a friend how you’re feeling. ask someone to help you cook so you can make sure you eat. ask others to spend time with you when you feel lonely.
