		<title>Pinch me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[O, sweet breath of a changing political season. For far too long, the social change sector has been in stop-horrible-things-from-happening mode.  This has been the mandate of our collective context and, wow,  it has been exhausting.

		<title>Tired of speeches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mabye I&#8217;ve just gotten really cynical, but I&#8217;m watching a bit too much of the Democratic convention, and I wish someone would just get real, stop reading, and speak from their hearts.
