It’s hard to put into words- or even images- what I feel about the world right now. Most days, I keep my head down and focus on my family and craft. But I also believe we can’t be afraid to ask questions or stand up for basic human rights. I want my kids to grow up with the chance to experience life fully, not under the shadow of a technological Dark Age. Surveillance and data collection are turning us into statistics. Anti-semitism is spreading. Fake news overwhelms truth. Social media fuels division. What we need most is empathy. This isn’t about left vs. right- it’s about wrong vs. right. Technology can lift us up and give us wings, but in the wrong hands it can just as easily conquer us. I want my kids, and your kids, to inherit hope, not fear.
