As the momma of this writer, I am leaving FB, one addiction to quit. And as for Alice, she seems to make choices that lead to other interesting ones opening up. I will focus on that happening again.

If I am reading this correctly, you are Alice's mom so I want to commend you for raising up such an extraordinary woman with a voice that is and will change the world.

Yes, I am her mother though she was raised by her dad, too, as well as family and neighbors who chose sustainable living in rural AR over investing in capitalism. Thanks!

Alice, seeing the interview you did on CNN, doing a podcast is a fantastic idea. If you can, post it to YouTube where I know that you could thrive.

Thanks, Rich, I'm working with a podcast called On Spec which is funded by National Geographic. My episode will probably be out December 2020 or early 2021. I'll be sure to share it here.

Thank you for this beautiful message. I've been contemplating leaving social media too, and this just might be the push I needed. Looking forward to seeing where "irrelevance" takes you!

I feel like many of us have contemplated leaving or tried to take breaks, but the pull to return is strong, addictive-level strong.
