Chapter 20

What defines a group? Is there a core - the leader? [who defines the ‘in’ group, who can decide who gets kicked out or not, even if it’s a group decision...]

#in terms of earthseed i'll have to keep it me #if you disagree #you can find another group that's too macho to save your children

Chapter 19

#adapt or die #red in the distance as we walk off

Earthseed’s inherent wish is to build something. To own and grow something of our own. 

She is grateful for slow and steady growth. - Morgan Harper Nichols

#for me it was almost having converts #the first beginnings of an earthseed community

#perhaps it's childish to call it growing up #but they had to learn about my circumstances somehow #and accept the stance I take #it's not quite as simple as realizing the world's a dog eat dog world #but it's something close #and there's a point you have to get on that train and never look back

Chapter 15

#it's a lot #to commit yourself to other people #almost like learning them all over again

Chapter 14

#there was a dead green face on our front porch... a woman - tall #lean #but female #and what had she died for? #Leave her alone...She died for all of us. Leave her alone. #A woman who had a pair of Cory's shoes in her hand

Dad disappeared - I wasn’t expecting that.

Chapter 11

On KSF - can’t imagine a hero who fights like hell just to sign up to have the rug pulled out from under them.

#dad would say #Modern-day capitalism has mastered the art of stealing a man’s rights and then selling them back to him as a privilege.

Chapter 10

Everyone wants to head north - Alaska, Oregon, you name it. But there’s no clear road out there to a heaven that might not even exist.

#a highway to hell #maybe #not the other way around
