I’ve been reading my children a few pages of the story of the Secret Garden every night before bed.
I’m not prone to emotion but I got a lump in my throat reading the passage where Colin Craven is given hope once he sees the garden and realizes that he isn’t going to die.
In defiance of all the doom he was told his entire life, he stands because he wants to stand as the sunsets. He wants to be in his feet. He knows that he will become strong and live a long, healthy life.
This is for those of you younger than I am. I want to be a Dickon Sombery character who brings hope to the Colin Cravens of our time.
You’ve been treated terribly. They have raised you to be frail and weak. They have stolen your future and dreams for anything better.
But you are all seeing the truth and if you can catch some hope in your heart, we can turn these ragged, rundown, ruins once again into a beautiful garden. A place of life and hope.
You are strong; much stronger than you know. Stand in defiance of a system that hates you. Stand for all that is true, beautiful and just. Do not let them win. Murder your depression for it is a useless and spiteful beast.
It will be on all of us to clear brambles, to pull roots from the ground, to dig wellsprings.
It is our calling. I’m proud to do it with all who are willing to put in the work.
First we must stand, then walk, then we can begin the work.

This morning activists in West Yorkshire displayed a banner over the M62 for almost an hour receiving tons of support from motorists!

I'll be streaming on my channel today at 5pm EST w/Dave Martel of the Bizarchives. We'll discuss HBO's The Last of Us, Indie Games and modern writing. We'll also check out Dave's upcoming game, Grimurth, as well.
If you want to ask Dave or me anything specific, or if you want us to address something specific, you can send superchats all day today, and we'll read them later.

A Long Day in Long Eaton
A two-demo day for the hard-working activists of PA East Midlands. We began the day in Long Eaton with our own demo which activists had been leafleting in support of for the last 3 weeks. High spirits and great speeches brought Long Eaton's marketplace to a standstill.
Activists demonstrated outstanding bravery in the face of a baying mob of unwashed lefties, showing local people that you don't have to be cowed by system shills and paid rent-a-mob.
We were supported by the public alongside members of the fantastic Save Kegworth team who've been campaigning in their own village against the occupation of a nearby hotel. As one good deed deserves another we finished up in Long Eaton and made our way down to Kegworth to support their demonstration!
We'll have a video out for you by Wednesday!
