This picture is specifically for Longodds.
--ImageRemoved--
It's a charcoal drawing I did for one of my art classes Soph. year of college. It's a collage of different things that meant something to me at the time. Ignore the Dave Matthews Band CD "cover" in the top left corner. I ran out of time before having to turn it in, so I just made something up. Sorry DMB.

Irrelevant but I like for people to read it...

-Don't confuse your comfort with your safety
-Talk to strangers
-Imagine other cultures through their poetry and novels
-Listen to music you don't understand--Dance to it
-Act locally
-Notice the workings of power and privilege in your culture
-Question consumption
-Know how your lettuce and coffee are grown: wake up and smell the exploitation
-Look for fair trade and union labels
-Help build economies from the bottom up
-Acquire few needs
-Learn a second (or third) language
-Visit people, places, and cultures--not tourist attractions
-Learn people's history
-Re-define progress
-Know physical and political geography
-Play games from other cultures
-Watch films with subtitles

-Honor everyone's holidays
-Look at the moon and imagine someone else, somewhere else, looking at it too
-Read the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights
-Understand the global economy in terms of people, land, and water
-Know where your bank banks
-Never believe you have the right to anyone else's resources.
-Refuse to wear corporate logos: defy corporate domination
-Question military/corporate connections
-Don't confuse money with wealth, or time with money
-Have a pen/email pal
-Honor indigineous cultures
-Judge governance by how well it meets all people's needs
-Be skeptical about what you read

-Enjoy vegetables, beans, and grains in your diet
-Choose curiosity over certainty
-Know where your water comes from and where your wastes go

-Work to change this
