My dear friend Marianela is such a soulful and life-lifting teacher, and I cannot recommend her enough. This class is also on sale until 12/15. tlanetwork.org/event-5959489

I'm not 5 anymore, but I still make an annual birthday wish. This year, it's for all of us. May we have a day (maybe a year!) laced with creativity, kindness to ourselves and those we meet, moments of deep connection and joy, and the courage to raise our voices and hearts in random acts of equity.

December letter is out! tracienichols.substack.com/p/grief-and-...

Hello! Good to be here in the land of blue. If anyone out there is into (not so) literary salons, we're throwing one on December 8th. Free, virtual, open to the public. Come meet some TLArtists! (They're really, really nice people.) www.tlanetwork.org/event-5774389

8) Nobody needs a fucking hero. Just do something. Every day. Play to your strengths and do what you can. I am a researcher and have no delusions about being an organizer. But I produce work that is actionable and I deliver it to people who can use it. That’s all I can do and it’s enough.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

Woohoo! Excited to be a presenter for TLAN's Virtual Salon. (Also terrified-I'm usually more comfortable behind the metaphoric curtain). I'm sharing some of my poetry; others are sharing stories, monologues, and more. The Salon is Dec 8 at 5 ET. Join us? tlanetwork.org/event-5774389

I learned some stuff about Bluesky I did not know by reading this. Maybe worth passing it on to others so we can all start getting the full benefit of the 🦋.

Dipping my toes in here. Curious and optimistic by what and who I'm seeing so far.
