I have 4,000 words to work with, I'm currently at 8,500, and I'm still avoiding crystallizing some thoughts.

I'm trapping myself between overdoing “theoretical precision” and my own frozen watchfulness of not knowing my audience's references.

Hoping to pull from
— modern movement theory
— findings from the last 30 years of archeology and other fields
— Freire's freedom and (true/false) generosity

Hoping to propose some “working shorthands” for use in conversations that might help us get unstuck.

I'm doing professional writing for the first time.

The goal is to introduce some possibly helpful ideas to progressive Christians as they navigate the "futility of utopia" and the "hypocrisy of totality".

They are plagued by “frozen watchfulness” as they realize their complicity in racism, capitalism, patriarchy, environmental collapse etc. They feel as through everything should be done, but nothing can be done, for those things are the very foundations of their privilege and social worlds.

Working on my TMP Refit Enterprise as a post-election stress project.

Panel lines are next. Don’t want to use the aztec decals, as I didn’t want to have to have shiny stickers over this beautiful ship. So, panel lines instead.

Using acrylic base with enamel panel method that I first heard about on All Scale Trek’s channel. <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RkI3RUkElk&t=8s>
