Dreamer. Designer. Dignitarian.
Daylight Savings Time begins this Sunday.
It’s a small, sometimes controversial ritual. But maybe that extra sunlight is an invitation to stretch, breathe, recalibrate.
A small reminder that even with everything happening in the world, we can still turn toward the light together.
Coexistence is possible, and it starts with you.

We sort ourselves into so many buckets – you name it, there's one for it. But for a moment, take a step back and view yourself from a 10k perspective.
We're all family: every human is part of the incredibly dysfunctional family we call humanity. And while we all struggle to coexist with each other, it's important to register that we're all still here, breathing the same air, subsisting on the same resources, and experiencing the same world.
Politics as usual won't save us. We need more than reform, elections and rehashing from the same povs.
A complete paradigm shift is required if we are to effect real change in the world.
The duty of the people to remember shall be binding.
This includes the duty to carry forward memory of those displaced, harmed, erased, or enslaved; to preserve language, culture, and lineage; and to honor ancestors, lifeways, and kin. The forgetting of harm, and the erasure of history, shall be regarded as a form of breach.
— Covenant, Part 01 (Core), Article 4, Section 2
Part 01 of the Covenant puts sovereignty where it belongs—in the People of Earth—and gives communities the tools to build prosperity, real democracy, and a future our kids can be proud of.
The revolutionary part? You don't need permission to start.

Silence from the future shall not be mistaken for permission. Their rights speak through our responsibilities.
— Covenant, Part 01 (Core), Article 3, Section 3
The Earth and all its living systems shall hold legal standing under this Covenant.
The forests, rivers, oceans, mountains, animals, soils, fungi, skies, and all interdependent ecologies of the planet shall be protected as subjects of law—not as property, resource, or means to accumulation.
— Part 01 (Core), Article 3, Section 1
Dignity shall not be suspended. No cause shall be allowed to erase the person.
— Covenant, Part 01 (Core), Article 5, Section 4
Where power departs from justice, dignity, or stewardship, the People and their communities shall retain the authority to declare such systems unlawful.
— Part 01 (Core), Article 8, Section 1

The People's House has become one person's house.
And like the East Wing of the White House, the US Constitution is being demolished by those who claim to protect and carry it forward.
Dignity is not granted. It is recognized in law because it precedes law.
— Part 01 (Core), Article 2, Section 1
Can anything get better? I have news for you.
Our systems and governments are irreparably broken. Reforms, elections, protests – you name it – will do little to change the status quo. It's time to rethink everything as we know it, from the ground up, starting with the Rule of Law itself.
"Sovereignty shall reside in the People of Earth."
All lawful power arises from the inherent dignity of persons, the self-determining will of communities, and the collective capacity of peoples to govern themselves in peace, care, and relation.
— Part 01 (Core), Article 1, Section 1 of Covenant

AWS sneezes, half the internet catches pneumonia. That's not resilience. That's systemic fragility dressed up as efficiency.
Part 2 of Covenant addresses this issue.
When essential infrastructure for discourse, commerce, and relation is monopolized by single corporations, we all lose the ability to participate when they fail. The internet should be Commons, not commodity.
Infrastructure that enables connection should belong to everyone, stewarded by communities, not owned by monopolies extracting profit while holding our ability to speak hostage to their uptime.
Looking for thoughtful critique on a constitution.
It's called the Covenant for United Earth—an attempt to codify anti-consolidation of power, protections for Earth, and ongoing consent as structural law.

Tear it apart. Tell us what sticks and what doesn't.
Can a people lawfully withdraw consent from their governments?
The U.S. Declaration says yes. But no modern state permits it in practice.
New paper argues: When systems are designed to concentrate power, reform strengthens them. The act of petitioning affirms the authority you're trying to change.
"An Argument for Invoking Our Sovereign Will" — why withdrawal is constitutional, why reform is a trap, and why reconstitution is our right.

Do you remember what it was like to be truly free?
Don't let your sovereignty remain captured by the state. Reclaim it. Invoke your Sovereign Will.
