Get the Caffeine Diplomacy mug.Pronounced Hyoo-moo-nee-zhuh - A fusion of human, unity, and sophrosyne (an ancient Greek concept of balance and transcendence), Humunisia represents a community that embraces the fullness of humanity. It signifies an inclusive space where differences dissolve in shared belonging, and the collective spirit transcends barriers to welcome all. Community should and can be comprised of the totality of humanity. The intersection at which an inclusive transcendence happens where community opens to welcome humanity to belong.
In the spirit of Humunisia, we strive to build a world where every individual, regardless of background, is not only included but truly belongs.

Get the Humunisia mug.Ghost Hustling-the act of working hard on something no one else notices, leading to little or no recognition. Ghost hustling is also the unseen labor of people still pushing for visibility and truth in environments where their language—and by extension, their work is being strategically erased.
Policy & Bureaucratic Silencing
The current climate has banned specific terms in documents and communications. This can be viewed as ghost hustling language—words are removed behind the scenes, often without public acknowledgment. Affected researchers, agencies, advocates continue their work with limited recognition or visibility. The reported banning of diversity, equity, and inclusion can be framed as ghost hustling: these concepts still exist and are being discussed, but in a way that lacks institutional support or visibility.
Cultural & Political Reframing
Subtle language shifts in public discourse—replacing words like refugee with illegal migrant, or gender equality with family values—is ghost hustling. Advocates & policymakers continue work but the terminology they use to gain legitimacy or funding is erased or altered.
Media & Public Perception
Not officially banning words but making their use politically risky (categorizing terms as "woke" or "unpatriotic"), ghost hustles language out of public discourse. The act shifts censorship to individuals and organizations in ways that aren’t explicitly mandated but are quite impactful.
