Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope by bell hooks

Paulo Freire was a big influence on hooks, I haven’t read any of his work yet but look forward to exploring it.
A page of a book is held up and says “It is imperative that we hope even when the harshness of reality may suggest the opposite.” -Paulo Freire

& that folks who are house-bound deserve access!

All upcoming events are free, accessible, virtual, and come as you are!

Share with anyone who would benefit! Times PST, signup for link at softheartssociety.com

Stay hopeful, soft hearts 🌼

Resistance is a long road, fill with if you can with people who make you shine bright & reminders that life has so much beauty in it worth fighting for 🌻

More sustainable ethical choices can also be more personalized, joyful ones 🥰🌷

A black lab lays on a colorful Afghan of granny squares in purples, oranges & reds. He's covered except for his head in a light colored blanket of a similar more simple pattern with pastels. He has very wide nervous eyes and is looking at the viewer. In the background from the left is part of an organ with a carved wooden flower on it, a cat tower, and to the right a tall lamp in front of a wooden cabinet. Blinds are slightly open in the background.

A black lab stares intently at a yellow ball while holding a bone under one paw. Some firewood and the edge of a couch are in the frame.

First books ordered for #radicalreadingroom 🥰💞

I want to include a mix of titles that will not only inform us of what is but also guide us on what to do & how to live in these times.
Many of us agree on what's wrong but we need hope, community, plenty of tools & a shared vision for peace 💝

My cat has been begging and demanding food for hours now. There's still a half hour to go. Send thoughts and prayers 🙀

She wouldn't look at the camera in protest so enjoy her thousand yard stare

A cat sits behind a carton of almond milk on a kitchen table, near a mug, orange candlestick, salt shaker, and pitcher. Hanging on the chair next to her is a puffy jacket. She's starting into the distance with a serious look on her face.
