Kate’s Quotes

“to join with others to shape a future is the holiest act. This is hard work, and it never stops being hard, but this collective dreaming/designing is the only way we get to keep surviving, and this practice defines us as a community.”
― Charlie Jane Anders, The City in the Middle of the Night
