@jessica_mitacek Shoot me a DM/email! I’m coordinating a virtual writing group this year, because it looks like a lot of us are craving the exact same thing. (Same goes for anyone who replied here!)
@chaninicholas I do! I'm an astrologer + narrative coach with a background as a writer + farmer. Themes I especially adore: building a creative practice, navigating chronic illness, celebrating queerness, and nurturing anti-capitalist takes on "purpose." Bookings here! https://t.co/rQKqsm7N8j
@mariskreizman Same and I cannot wait to read this when you do write it. It’s painful insight — particularly because capitalism doesn’t actually allow us to honor what the body knows is true.
Heard @amandapalmer talk on the @richroll podcast recently about how his mom brought not just sandwiches, but BASKETS OF DONUTS, and I can’t stop thinking about it. This thread!!!
A thing I wish I knew about Thoreau as a teenager was that his mother brought him sandwiches and Walden Pond was on her property. I think I might have made some different life choices had I understood that.
If you feel helpless watching the rainforest burn, remember most fires in the Amazon are started to clear land for the cattle industry. Brazil is the world’s biggest exporter of beef. Humans don’t need to eat beef. https://t.co/mxGpxldZfF
Scientists warn that losing another fifth of Brazil’s Amazon will trigger the feedback loop known as dieback, in which the forest begins to dry out and burn in a cascading system collapse, beyond the reach of any subsequent human intervention or regret. https://t.co/oQquBYsM3Z
If you’re reading this and you’re thinking that the ICE raid in Mississippi was justified because the 680 men and women apprehended are undocumented, and therefore in your eyes they are here “illegally” and we “have the right to enforce our laws,” you should know the following:
After I forced myself into a cell w/ women&began speaking to them, one of them described their treatment at the hands of officers as “psychological warfare” - waking them at odd hours for no reason, calling them wh*res, etc.
Tell me what about that is due to a “lack of funding?”
Trump: "Uh, it's a phenomenon that started two years ago. It's disgraceful. I am going to maybe, and I'm looking at it very seriously, we're doing some other things as you probably noticed, like some of the very important things that we're doing now."
