If you're not crying, you're not at The Firecracker Foundation. This t-shirt is a gift from my board member Emily Dievendorf. It's also the 3rd affirmation in so many months of my tears as a calling, gift, and example. I sometimes take for granted the kind of tenderness it takes to remain committed to transformation and healing justice work. You must believe that transformation can happen. You must believe that your work is timeless and that results will present themselves after you are dead and gone. You must agree that it's critical and necessary to build a future you will not see. That is vulnerability. Taking time to build not for the moment but for the movement. Keep crying at work, my friends. PS - BIPOC, give yourselves permission to step away from the constant replays of violence against our bodies today. You know what is being said + shared in your bodies. Tend to your spirits and rest for the revolution. You are the work. [Image description: Tashmica, a black woman, pictured holding her laptop and wearing a white t-shirt that says (in green) I cry at work. She is wearing a gold chained long necklace with a rectangular jade piece. Her curly dark hair is down.]

I remembered a holiday and took the day off. I worked in my garden and became acquainted with my abs again. I rested in my hammock with a salty face and a sweet cupcake. I watched leaves and daydreamed about murmuration. I read books and drank bubbly water with magnolia simple syrup and mint. What a gorgeous day. I almost felt like there wasn't a pandemic, only home and now. 🌿💜 [Image description: a brown hand holds a vanilla cupcake with purple and green frosting. In the background are my legs, the blue/green/white striped hammock I'm laying in, a grey house, and blue sky.]

I have this post saved because you can't be sad and watch Bailey shaking that tail feather. Follow @round.animals for more chunky babies living it up. Image description: a chunky beagle dances with their owner in the kitchen.
