please pretty please write that dream world down. get serious about it. dream up every aspect of how it works and what it feels and looks and smells and tastes like. spend time there. tell others.

no more fictions about the dystopian future or the end of the world, grand empires, adventurous colonies, soliders cops prisons kings couples heroes or presidents. stories have to do the impossible task of ending capital itself.

part of being a storyteller is learning the many stories that come before you. is listening, noticing, acknowledging, remembering. being able to carry the lessons of old stories through time and space.

and understand whose stories have not been remembered, have been destroyed, changed, denied. what at the threads of time and history that extend to you? what will you do?

utopias no longer cut it.

address your grief. and longing. put words out of order.
