Over the next few days, I'll be posting clips from an animated movie I made a few years back with Ciro Carillo about mutual aid. You can watch the whole thing here on my YouTube page.

This clip introduces us to mutual aid: what it is and why we need it.

Student-made art on the prompt of access and inclusion. Creating at the intersections of arts integration and UDL (Universal Design for Learning). The classroom is a great site of possibility and future-making 💕

'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

Started this morning teaching on creating space for social action in curricula design. Ended the day with a vibrant discussion about steps theater educators can take in the face of censorship. It’s a wild time to be preparing future educators.

Prepping for the public sharing of the mother/artist performance and literary group I’ve been leading at our local library. It’s been magic to spend the last 9 weeks building community with artistry. #BabbleBardCreativeCollective

Executive Order on Radical Indoctrination is glorified hot steam of the Lost Cause. Educators, parents, and all lovers of education won’t roll over and comply. We are prepared to continue educating “unpatriotic content.” We refuse to be mouth pieces of anything other than radical truth.

If there really is a “tax relief expert” calling me about my back taxes, they just need to sound a little led bot-ish.

Tomorrow night is the kickoff for Playwriting Circle! If you are a North Country New York human and interested in developing work for the stage, hmu or come on through.

Looking forward to strengthening our artistic capacity for storytelling for the stage!

Came out of hot yoga feeling full of kindness, and saw this in the coat area. Know that your community is working and it is all critical. Take care of your bodies, stay connected, do your research, and make the time for sweaty flexy bliss.

“What was your favorite game as a child? When was the last time you played?”

Take some time to play dress-up, red rover, jump off the stairs (not too high), or tag, bonus points if you get other people involved.

Don’t let the bastards steal your joy!

Nobody will make your fun for you!

Read that researchers have found that the older you get, the less hope you feel.

I’ve been digging hard into my practices of hope to make that not true about my middle-aged self. Looking for the horizon, where hope sits like a sun.

Here for the connections about theatre, civic engagement, mother/artistry, and building community. Bonuses for nature and witchy content.
