“After resistance comes (r)evolution”, beautiful writing by Clarice Gargard ✨
On the importance of hope, love and grief in activism. Filled with poetic ideas, like this one “Grief is just a form of love that doesn’t know where it belongs”.

Binge-reading Octavia Butler’s ‘Lilith’s Brood’ trilogy - she glues you to the story and shake you to the core, and before you know it you are somehow rooting for aliens that want to take human genes. Miraculous writing!

Sujuy Ja’ - Agua Sagrada performance last month in the Mayan village Maní with the amazing Socorro Loeza Flores.
In 1562 the Spanish burned Mayan books in the convent of Maní, destroying a lot of indigenous knowledge. In 2009, finally, the Franciscan brothers of the convent apologized.
