I spent the last several days in Philadelphia selling hand made toys at the designer art toy show and just generally being among artists and creatives and practicing #RevolutionaryJoy

This was welcome. It was exhausting, but it was also replenishing. I came away from the show bustling with ideas. Most of them are small ideas— concrete little things that I can put into practice immediately, but a few are bigger and more abstract. I want to spend some time with these bigger, more abstract ideas and see how they manifest themselves in my toy making and the rest of my revolutionary joy practice.

This will be a short thread where I try to articulate one of these ideas. It's mostly about toymaking and the concept of Play and the utility of stories. If those topics aren't in your balliwick, look elsewhere for sustenance tonight.

I'll be going slowly as I'm on mobile and also really still reasoning my way around this concept.
