#creating change

[thrivingwhilemultiple]

To create change, we need to try something new, something different. Creating change requires the opposite of what we've always done.

I had an amazing time at Creating Change 2024 with friends both new and old. Here are some more pictures!

A lovely dinner with Jaylen and Viet, whom I met when they were grad students at Texas Tech in Lubbock. So glad to see them now in the next stage (and place) of their lives, where they are thriving and making a difference.

Some precious time with some folks I greatly admire: the Mandy Carter, who is one of the founders of Southerners on New Ground and who has been committed to social justice since she was a teenager, Lisa Diamond, a brilliant academic and researcher who wrote Sexual Fluidity, and Scout, who runs the LGBT Cancer Network.

Some of the folks who attended the Bi+ Institute at Creating Change 2024. What an amazing array of engaged, caring, smart people.

With Russell Roybal, formerly deputy executive director at the National LGBTQ Task Force and now Commissioner of the State of California's Civil Right's Department.

For me, no Creating Change Conference would be complete without a big hug and a chance to catch up with Glenn Magpantay, whom I first met about a million years ago when he was a student leader. Glenn has done so much organizing, He is a thought-leader at the intersection of race, immigration, and queerness.

Lovely lunch on Tuesday with my friend Kamille. I'm happy to be home.

Transforming Regret into Positive Change

Why? It’s done. That ship has sailed. A lot of the mistakes I have learned from are in the past, I like them there as memories. I used to drink a lot of alcohol and I always would do or say something I regretted. I was just thinking about how that hasn’t happened lately because I haven’t had a drink in quite some time. Even not being drunk and doing or saying something you regret is rough. You go…

PISCES LOVE

Extra Pisces ♓🐟 This period indicates stress and minor arguments in an existing relationship. Try to get to the bottom of what is really happening. An argument about the toaster isn’t usually really about the toaster! If you are looking for love, it’s possible that you think you may have found “the one” and a permanent commitment may even come about. Be as sure as is possible to be that you know…

Splinter and Leo go to an escape room and Splinter surprises Leo by having booked a MAGIC-THEMED ESCAPE ROOM. Leo is DELIGHTED.

Leo has a blast solving all the puzzles and doing stage magic and they solve the room with a minute remaining and get to take fun selfies of WINNING

Future Son????

It has been a while since I have done an original prompt. So DCxDP prompt #2 (LOTS of good reblogs. This is a long thread.)

Danny gets into a fight with Impulse/Bart about Bart changing the timeline messing things up for Danny and effectively erasing his family, because the change made it so Maddie and Jack never got together. But because of Clockwork sending him on a mission to the past while Bart changed the timeline and the medallion Dan had phased into Danny he remembers the old timeline. Also he has access to his powers but for some reason can’t change into ghost form.

This fight happens in front of the rest of the young justice team. And Nightwing was coming there to teach a training lesson and over hears half of what Danny is shouting.

From Dick’s point of view there is a black haired, blue eyed kid with powers that are suspiciously like a Tamuraneans, yelling at Bart about losing his family because his parents never got together. Also Dick and Kori had recently broken up. (Feel free to make up a reason.)

Due to a misunderstanding Dick is going to help his time displaced “son” adjust to the new reality.

Spiritual seekers need one another as mirrors. A member of the Hopi nation once asked me about our holy days. I was telling him about Passover, our celebration of freedom, and Sukkot, our Feast of Tabernacles, and how they fit in with the cycles of the year. "I think I get it," he said finally. "You people don't want to be in slavery. And you want to pass this on to your children. But when you tell your kids on Passover, 'We have to go away from here; we can't stay here because it will cost us our freedom,' your kids will say, 'Yeah, but what are we going to eat?' So you teach them how to bake bread on stones, how to roast a lamb if you are hungry, how to find dandelion greens, and so on. When the kids ask, 'But where will we stay?' you show them how to build a lean-to, so they will have somewhere to live." An Indian perspective on the mitzvot to eat the Passover lamb with matzot and bitter herbs and to build a sukkah on Sukkot gave me a completely different insight into my own traditions.

Happiness is ... spending time with old friends who you admire. For this reason, my experience at Creating Change has been amazing. I will post more pictures when possible.
