I was thinking of little pages bound together with QR codes and maybe a personal note about why it’s included. I don’t have a model, but I do have these pre-cut pieces of paper 😅

Bookmarks in books would also be awesome!!

And def! Please boost!

Starting tomorrow, Wed 6-7 PM PST, I'll offer a weekly meditation for movement workers, justice organizers, and everyday activists.

We'll meditate for 15-20, name agreements (right to pass, cameras requested but not required, no cross-talk), and share for the remainder.

In sept, I ran a mindful play session for folks affected by the Eaton fire. Eight months later, they were still unhoused.

So systemically failed, they couldn't imagine mutual aid. Still, help exists, & there's no shame in asking for it.

The shift wasn't about pedagogy, but permission...the kind they gave me to be imperfect, permission I gave them to play.

With tensions so high these days (unlikely to temper), learning to be present and playful is a skill I personally need practice with and am proud to share.

Dear everyone. Friendly reminder to SAVE YOUR WORK when you're not working in a program that auto-saves so often.

Just a small moment of what have I done happening right now.

I re-opened the program and hours...just gone.

I am not a cartographer/map-maker...OR AM I?

Couldn't wrangle an artists for Notes for a Curious Traveler, but I did manage to snag a free trial to Inkcarnate. It's pretty cool and not terribly hard to use. Imagine if I had more than 40 minutes to play!

1970s album cover or just straight up scope creep?

Undecided, but I'm having a decent time.

Also: scope creep is real! The newsletter piece would have taken an estimated 45 minutes to read. My solution: a pdf. And who wants to look at an ugly pdf?

This is my kind of project though. (tbf it was my idea)

Thought it might be cool to see where the LinkedIn contributors to Notes for a Curious Traveler came from. If BlueSky contributors want to add your location, please let me know!

#Writers receive 3 prompts about an artifact, an event, or a location. They choose which to answer. 6 sentences max, distributed as they wish.

If you don't want to be credited, let me know. You can still play! Comment if you want a spot!

"Keep playing in every area of your life without expectations of an outcome! Winning/losing is an illusion. What matters is that you keep showing up and PLAY!"

I love that I can host spaces where feelings like this naturally arise.

A few weeks ago I made this explainer about the city council, because I myself had no idea how much power they hold.

There are only 15 council members deciding the city budget, making them the most powerful city council in the country.

Even if you're not in LA, know who represents you!

Gathering writers (and illustrators if you wanna play!)

Looking for 11 more creators to build a travel guide to a place that doesn't exist.

A little Lonely Planet, a little People’s History, a little #prefigurative world-building = a co-created travel guide to a #hopepunk metropolis.

Tomorrow I'll be at Grand Park from 11 AM onwards helping folks write their Los Angeles City Councilmember.

Each of the 15 members represent over a quarter million people. Over three decades, they've decided against redistricting to ensure more equitable representation.

Projection. It's not just an unconscious psychological phenomenon. Sometimes, it's totally on purpose.

A friend I made through practice during stay-at-home orders just sent me this picture of a land altar.

Ah, to sit and meditate on that stump.

The first prompt asked us to respond to an alarming scandal. My response begins below.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN? WILL AL INSIST ON MILK IN THE COLD BREW?

WILL THEY REMEMBER THEY ALWAYS GET TO CHOOSE HOW TO RESPOND IN REAL LIFE, TOO?

I see his point. If cornered by a group or large armed men, I can't say I'd do things "calmada," like one of the speakers advocated.

But I can practice and get to know my responses now. Understanding ourselves under gentle pressure helps us show up better.

After helping union workers practice with overwhelming circumstances, explore power dynamics, and build confidence for real-world action, we went into debrief mode.

I learned a little more about the union folks at my table (SEIU 721) and they got to ask questions.

Last night I facilitated #roleplay exercises at the largest non-violent direct action training in California history.

Role-playing lets people experiment with challenging emotions in an easier, safer setting. The debrief--also included in the training--is where the integration happens.

I realized my list of ways I've “slowed down” in this week's Light Hive update feel quite active!

Last night, I played Welcome to the Moon. Look at me doing numbers. 😆

How are you staying grounded these days?

I'm honored to have contributed to the NO ICE in LA #TTRPG charity bundle. Proceeds will be split between @immdef.bsky.social and @raicestexas.bsky.social, a Texas based organization fighting to welcome and fight for families seeking safety and freedom in the U.S.
