Hope Is Not the Thing With Feathers

A million people in this country have died of COVID-19 and over six million have perished globally. The stories we are not telling because we cannot bear to face them are easily crowded out by our own daily struggles. It would be easy to languidly continue the capitalist death march assuming that you would act if only the world were more alterable. For some people hope begins with a rejection of the deadly norms being imposed on us. I want to thank Tenuja Jagranath for talking with me about the practice of hope. We also wanted to give a shout out to the organizers who spoke with her for this effort.
