International Park(ing) Day

Urban MayhemBy Elsie GilmoreFebruary 27, 2020

Yesterday my friends and I pulled off what may have been St. Petersburg, Florida’s first foray into International PARK(ing) Day.

The speed of life

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreFebruary 25, 2020

I have noticed something interesting since returning to a car-free lifestyle. I don’t enjoy being on highways as much as I once did.

The Essence of You

The Essence of You

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreFebruary 20, 2020

Over the years, I have spent a lot of time trying to become a better human. Not only does being a better human make me happier but it helps my relationships with those around me.

A meaningful life

A meaningful life

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreFebruary 18, 2020

Whatever motivates you is what you will spend the most time and energy pursuing. What motivates me is the desire to live a meaningful life.

Why I'm not wasting time on Facebook

Why I’m not always wasting time on Facebook

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreFebruary 13, 2020

If you’re my Facebook friend and don’t know me well, you might think I don’t have a job and am constantly wasting time on Facebook. I’m on there a lot, and I’m not a lurker. I’m posting and commenting at a rapid pace.

I don't mind what happens

Not minding what happens

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreFebruary 11, 2020

I’m currently reading “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle, and I am quite enthralled by it. I am stuck on one particular phrase: “I don’t mind what happens.”

Being car-free

Being Car-Free is a Social Experiment

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreFebruary 7, 2020

Since getting rid of my car last week to embark on an experiment in carlessness, life’s an adventure!

Traveling to San Miguel de Allende

Traveling to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreJanuary 31, 2020

Traveling to San Miguel de Allende, Mexico was my first adventure since my disastrous trip to Havana, Cuba in 2017.

Giving money to strangers on the street

Strangers on the street

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreJanuary 28, 2020

Tonight as I walked up the street in my neighborhood, I was stopped by a slight woman who said she wanted to ask me a question.

The Intimacy Project

The Intimacy Project

Coffee With StrangersBy Elsie GilmoreJanuary 20, 2020

I got a massage this week, and it reminded me of how long it had been since another human had touched my skin so intimately. A couple months. But it felt like a couple years.

Today's escape from capitalism into nature. Not as Today's escape from capitalism into nature. Not as much wildlife as my other paddles, but we did see many pelicans and glimpses of a manatee.Take time to spend in nature. It's calming and grounds us. Nature is real life. Computers, smartphones, AI, and the stock market are things we made up. The world would be fine without them. Pelicans would still exist.#naturegirl🌻 #naturegirl #nature #gooutsideandplay #outdoorsgirl #outdoors #kayaking #kayakingadventures #paddling #kayaking #kayakadventures #fightcapitalism
The existence of billionaires and their level of c The existence of billionaires and their level of control over our lives and our government is detrimental to everyone on the planet.There are no good billionaires. They are all driven by profit motive above all else... otherwise they wouldn't be billionaires.We need to give billionaires less of our money, support small businesses when possible, and demand our government stop making laws for billionaires that hurt everyone else (because they take money away from programs for our working class and most vulnerable citizens). Why are billionaires allowed to pay starvation wages in the richest country in the world? Our government's priorities are messed up. We need to fight back.#capitalism #capitalismkills #defundbillionaires #billionaires
This is my cat's new catnip toy (made by @feliniou This is my cat's new catnip toy (made by @felinious_).Capitalism and fascism are directly related. When you let capitalism run out of control (like we have), fascism grows (like it has and is).We will never tame fascism until we tame capitalism. Period. It's not possible.We need to relentlessly oppose any deregulation of businesses and relentlessly elect people who will keep the fire on billionaires by taxing and regulating them. One way or another, we need to overturn Citizens Union and put capitalism back in its place.#citizensunited #capitalism #fascism #antifa #antifascist @felinious_
Check out my recent interview with @mrbizsolutions Check out my recent interview with @mrbizsolutions about capitalism!I appreciate this thoughtful discussion, where we can see that even self-declared pro-capitalists think capitalism has gone too far.You can find the link in my bio or comment INTERVIEW, and I'll send you the link.#capitalism #capitalist

I'm soaking it in as I plan to leave the area in around six months.But also, I've not been making nature a priority, and I must never forget to do that.Capitalism wants to keep us consuming instead of enjoying. We must always fight that.#floridakayaking #kayaking #kayakingadventures #silverspringsstatepark #monkeys #manatees #anticapitalist #naturegirl🌻 #naturelover❤️ #naturegirl #naturelovers
The farmers market is love.I heard a mother tel The farmers market is love.I heard a mother telling her teenage daughters not to talk to anyone at the farmers market or pet any dogs because people use dogs to abduct children.Don't teach your daughters to be afraid of people. It actually makes them more vulnerable. Not only do predators home in on fear, but your kid might need a kind stranger someday and be too scared to speak to them. Instead, teach them assertiveness and common sense. Tell them never to leave an area with a stranger or get in their car. Make sure they know how to call 911. Send them into the world with the idea that most people are good. Teaching them to live in fear is not healthy.Teach your kids to have situational awareness so they can talk to strangers and pet dogs with the confidence that they know how to take care of themselves if the unexpected happens.Fear is one of the things that tears this country apart. Don't pass it on to your kids.#farmersmarket #selfconfidence❤️ #streetsmarts  #fear #daughters
