Noam Chomsky, the world’s treasure, is still with us.
But the idea of losing him has sparked some beautiful reflections.
“We’re in the middle of a genocide, Fascism is on the rise, and now this?” I was thinking (despairing, really) yesterday as messages about Noam Chomsky passing away were coming in.

And we kind of owe it to Noam.
As always: stay strong, check on others, and keep your heart open.
❤️💔❤️
