I love that I can text fellow mother friends a text riddled with typos and they don’t think I’m any less with it, they just know I’m likely also snuggling my flu-ridden child with one hand going on thirteen hours and typing with the other because motherhood #motherhood

They cannot take the sunrise.

I wrote a thing capturing a snap shot of how my values are moving and breathing in my life, plus share one super practical tip for organizing community

any other women feeling the urge right now to get really fucking strong in our bodies, learn to grow our own food with our hands, and build robust communities of radical love with our hearts in response
to the crumbling systems around us?

We don’t wait for the systems to crumble to build alternative systems rooted in collective care. We rebirth while the old systems give way so our communities are here to catch us as they fall.

This is the first of a series on interviews I’m soaring about how we can use creative practices to build and strengthen our local communities. This time I’m chatting to @folkweaver.bsky.social and @lesleyannenumbers.bsky.social
