If you listen closely you can hear its heartbeat. This future is not just a dream—it is alive, and already happening, all around us. It whispers in the intimacy of friendships across cultures, abilities and generations–friendships that turn care into a practice more tender than the state and institutions can ever fathom. It whispers inside our cells, as we begin the lifework of deconditioning our internalized ableism. The Future starts from within. ~In The Future by Jess X. Snow
