This is why we unschool.

I read through the transcript a bit. Looking forward to listening when I have the chance

Faraday bags are good to have, too, and simply use from time to time

My kid is “cross-handed” which sounds like the same or something very similar. He writes and draws and such *usually* on his left, but sports things are always right. This supposedly is highly correlated with neurodivergence.

Thank you for sharing this. It sounds right on time.

If you haven’t checked out “When No Thing Works” by Norma Kawelokū Wong, I think you might find her tender and bold contemplations helpful and realistically hopeful in these times.

I re-listened to her interview on On Being from so many year ago where she recites Rilke and talks about the big questions. It was so good to hear her and be immersed in her wisdom and clear-eyed truth and love for that hour. She is the wise warrior grandmothers we all need now.

Glad to hear you got some relief. We need to be resources for the long haul

We truly live in dystopian times. And it’s gonna get darker quick. Buckle up, friends.

DLed it today!

I just visited and read the update from today from Anne Symens-Bucher. So much gratitude and so many tears! 😭 If I could only gain 1/10 of her wisdom, beauty, and unflinching clarity and compassion in this life! Oh Maia, thank you for this.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have been wondering about her. I will keep posted here

Had this conversation a couple months ago. It’s all about harm reduction now. Hopefully we can keep (rapidly) building on the work/communities we’ve established prior. The empire must end, it’s a death machine and always has been. And it will get more vicious on the way out. “We take care of us”.

I saw this elsewhere and I very much want this to be true, but these are police officers, unmasked. Where I saw it, folks said it was Chicago PD attempting arrests.

That being said, this *is* what is needed. The entire community physically stopping the kidnappings, together and unapologetic.

My partner finds me there all the time

Apparently, I tried to articulate it. I don’t write on Substack but this just happened today when I was trying to compose a short note

It sounds trite, but thank YOU. I’m honestly so grateful for writers (and other artists) who put our stories out there in the world for us to drink in. It’s a kind of nourishment that is terribly undervalued. Please keep writing! I think these times call for it more than ever. And again, thank you
