And the pot liquor has the most nutrients l. It, with cornbread, was high on the list for slavery time baby food. Black-eyed peas. And a host of fresh vegetables. Mom would chew meat and feed it to baby. Don't say "yuck". Babies had to eat too.

I'm not sure of the greens eaten in Zimbabwe (?) but I loved this story about Kenyan greens.

Kenya’s government has launched a campaign encouraging people to eat more locally grown vegetables.
Indigenous greens were once considered a 'poor man's food' but they're becoming increasingly popular.
And more fiber and less gas-inducing than greens 🥬 of foreign origin.

I agree it drags a little at the mid-point, but it could still be helpful at opening the minds of my American students who think of pros and cons of AI exclusively in the Euro-American context.

A lot of talk about autism, adhd, and anxiety without identifying and dealing with the causes of all that anxiety, which is almost certainly in the limbic system and a lived experience of invalidating and forced assimilation.

I think the thing a lot of folks doing this work miss and/or avoid... is developmental and complex trauma.
Trauma does all of this to people as well, and no autistic or AuDHD or otherwise ND with high or nuanced support needs comes out of childhood untraumatized.
Trauma work is critical.

It reminds me of people asking why someone is wearing a mask. I'm shocked-not-shocked some* people ask this.
