100% of the profits from every button sold will go to Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).
I chose CALM because I believe that improving our collective mental wellbeing will have a powerful impact on many of the other issues we face today. A world in which people are inwardly healthy is one in which we will be empowered and inspired to act for positive outward change.
I will ship buttons with the cheapest postal option to maximize the amount being donated. The post is super slow these days but if your button hasn’t arrived within a month please reach out!

Charles Bukowski – Bluebird (1975)
There’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I’m not going
to let anybody see
you.
There’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he’s
in there.
There’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
There’s a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I’m too clever, I only let him out
at night some times
when everybody’s asleep.
I say I know that you’re there,
so don’t be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he’s singing a little
in there, I haven’t quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and its nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don’t
weep, do
you?
