Breakfast At Wayne Manor

dapper / disheveled

“When I say, “abolish the police,” I’m usually asked what I would have us replace them with. My answer is always full social, economic, and political equality, but that’s not what’s actually being asked. What people mean is “who is going to protect us?” Who protects us now? If you’re white and well-off, perhaps the police protect you. The rest of us, not so much. What use do I have for an institution that routinely kills people who look like me, and make it so I’m afraid to walk out of my home? My honest answer is that I don’t know what a world without police looks like. I only know there will be less dead black people. I know that a world without police is a world with one less institution dedicated to the maintenance of white supremacy and inequality. It’s a world worth imagining.”

Forager 🌱

You lace up your old hiking boots and fill your backpack with water, a spade, and some shears. You're ready for the day!

Someone who loves you has left a plate of muffins out to cool, how kind of them! You snag a few and get going.

It's warm outside today, and a few familiar bird calls come from the woods nearby. The sun feels good on your skin.

It isn't long before you are in one of your favorite spots, picking some fresh berries and packing them away.

You hop from rock to rock through your favorite stream and watch the fish dart around in the cool water.

You have the most productive morning, gathering lots of herbs and fruits. Your hands are dirty and your heart is full.

On your walk home, a crow swoops down in front of you. He does a funky little dance until you share some of your loot.

When you return, you wash your hands with homemade soap that smells like lavender and honey.

Someone who loves you laughs as you tell them about the snails and birds you saw on your walk, and they help you sort out your finds.

You go to bed knowing you've done well, that you are loved, and that you get to do it all again tomorrow.

I've been thinking about Nanami as Mr.Darcy so I made this. I think I will draw some scenes from the 2005 version.
