“The tides are turning.
Everybody else is waking up,
becoming more awake, aware, seeking knowledge,
challenging the assumptions.
'They' call it 'woke' and demean it...
'They' may be--may aspire to be--the authorities,
may judge and smirk and wield their swords,
but 'everybody else' knows what's really happening.
And the forces of change, however resisted,
will continue to awaken
us all.”

The evidence from prevention and community youth development studies is clear: When youths feel connected to others in the institutions of their communities, they are less likely to violate the norms and more likely to serve the common good of those communities.”

And that's the story: what happens with the Sistine tiger, the real tiger and Rob's grief.”
