- Starting my thesis on climate change was prescient. I am in a better position than most to recommend policies and actions which will help towards a "new normal" / accessing climate finance.
- Dorm life experience during the pandemic remains relevant. We all need that culture of care to survive, rewrite the norms which we find ourselves part of.
- Self-knowledge and self-compassion are necessary for self-preservation.
- Friendship is the gift.
- Tenderness / la tendresse: "Without tenderness, we are all in hell." (Adrienne Rich)
Happy one year anniversary to me. I'm still so glad I traveled when I did because wow government return service when your agency is at the center of the administration's infrastructure program is a circle of hell. Half-way done with my bond in government. A year to go!
