@julimcloone I lived this too. I agonized about this reality & still do a bit. The kids saw first-hand my hard work and balancing act. I modeled it for them and now that they are adult-ish (17&18) they tell me about how it was for them (mostly good!!). Keep up your spirit, mom&professional!
I hope this is comforting: every human life is lived as part of our planet, & so, sometimes in deep shadow & sometimes in bright sunlight. This can feel discombobulating and often painful. Hang on—to people, to animals, to activities, to the things that help you balance & through
So after 11 months of writing, we present to you, "The Comprehensive Guide to Resisting Overcommitment". Endless thanks to @megdelaa@sofiayleung @catladylib and @DrArchivist who shaped this in ways I could not have and everyone in the bibliography! https://t.co/AmcT61XU5B
@eliza_audacis My research & interviews about co-farming are abt 3 yrs old now, but I’d be glad to share what I know. Co-farming happens (including exclusively women farming cooperatives, as an example)! It is done, it can be done!
@eliza_audacis I highly recommend following co-housing on social media sites like Instagram. I wanted this. Co-farming. It didn’t work out, but I do have aspects of it. It just took a MAJOR life change in my mid-40s to accomplish but I’m so happy. May I give you hope.
@snowdenbecker Piling on with multiple bricks in political collections and university archives at the University of West Georgia. Nothing like a ceremonial brick to show wealth and power. “We built this city” type of thing.
Powerful words from author @JasonReynolds83 on our collective anxiety, the importance of school libraries, and the hypocrisy of book censorship! @ALALibrary is mentioned at the 7:40 mark. So appreciate the visibility and rallying call. https://t.co/dLsXD8psN5
