JAROD K. ANDERSON on Reclaiming Limits /319

Jarod (@cryptonaturalist) reminds us, limits are nourishing within poetry, and can be a virtue in life. If we accept the messy, twisted, and gnarled realities of life, we can escape the cold and dead store bought narratives about who we are supposed to be and instead lean into real freedom.

Dr. VANDANA SHIVA on Diverse Expressions of a Living Earth /311

Vandana and Ayana piece apart the threads of our global culture that lead to exploitation and extraction - focusing on the policies of division and distraction that keep us from each other.
