It is my Mama’s birthday! I love you, Mama 💜🥰❤️ When we are in the same country, I take a trip to knock at my parent’s door and say “Surprise! Happy Birthday!” As I did just before we took these pictures a couple of years ago. I am counting the days until I can hug my parents again and kiss them in celebration 💜🥰❤️

Love is not the opposite of hate. It is the opposite of indifference. We who demand a better world act out of love, not hate. We risk it all with the obsession of Majnun for Layla. “At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality,” Che Guevara said. Despite his critics, including anarchists such as myself, Che understood that we agitate not because we hate the world, but because we so desperately love it.
