A Pulitzer & a Peabody!! What an unbelievable 2 days! This feels like undeniable proof that Indigenous stories matter & that we should support Indigenous people to tell them. We are so grateful to survivors who shared with us & hope this means more people will hear their voices.

At first I I didn’t get the global obsession with Brownville’s Food Pantry for Deer, but now I do!

Does anyone in Maine have personal experience using ketamine as a part of your mental health journey? If so, one of my @SaltInstitute students would love to talk to you about what inspired you to seek it out and how it went for an audio feature on ketamine assisted therapy. Thx!
