they're afraid of a world where economists aren't the only ones allowed to talk about the economy. they're afraid of a world where ppl in power aren't the only ones defining what's possible. and they're DEF afraid of a world where ppl like me don't live at the edges anymore. 10/

and that's fair. it's a scary shift! but that still doesn't make it right or okay. and i didn't really remember that until yesterday. 11/

because just like i'm allowed to get a tattoo AND still write policy, i'm allowed to help shape what our future should look like AND to open up that space for others. and everyone else has that right too! but that's exactly what some critics want to crush. 12/

and so i guess that's what this new tattoo reminds me now: that regardless of all the noise, i have the right to decide, whether it's about what goes on my body or about what the economy should look like. and you do too, sweet baby angels. 13/

One of the things I love about Twitter is that it is so emotional. Not everyone all the time, but you get these breathtaking glimpses of people showing the world who they are and it's beautiful. <3

it is really nice!

Oh, and I noticed you kept 'sweet baby angles' -- haha, I'm glad. It's sweet and works so well with how you use twitter.
