How is it possible to be this tired having done such a small fraction of what I am expected to do today?

Writing about my great grandmother today. A weaver, a knowledge holder, a matriarch, a māngai but always from the back or the sidelines.

6 degrees this morning, yay it’s finally feeling like proper autumn. Also get to start the next book in this series (the first one is such a clever and unique application of a ‘crime fiction convention’).

Teaching myself to crochet because usually I find methodical crafting like fibre work a good form of active relaxation and meditative. Turns out this time it’s actually good form of active frustration and tension! Any tips welcome 🙏🏽

I stop at the library at almost every town I’m in. Today’s synchronicity was finding these for $1 each at the teeny Tairua library #pedagogyoftheoppressed #education #freire #anticolonialtheory #supportyourlocallibrary
