A table outside with cardboard looms ready for weaving, a box of sewing supplies, a bag of various colored threads, & a zine called Affirmations For The Grieving.

The focus of our March 2nd Grief Retreat stemmed from a poem by @atenaoyadi.bsky.social called Mending. Around a fire we wove w dogwood & on looms, mended clothes, had foods/teas made w care, and reflected on rest & community care. It was such a thoughtful lovely day!
Our next one is on June 22nd

What’s the role of care in movements? How do we show up for each other tangibly in repressive times?
Chicago folks, come join me & @mskellymhayes.bsky.social, Bill Ayers (@underthetreepod.bsky.social) & Anya Tanyavutti at @pilsencommbooks.bsky.social to discuss!

We got to look at abeaver lodge up close today. We also got to see several muskrat lodges as well. Beavers are a keystone species because their habitats support so many other species. We love our beavers at Wonderland and yes, we make a lot of inappropriate beaver jokes. 😜🦫❤️

A hearty stew of memes for you. 😘

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

3/2
11am to 3pm This retreat will focus on weaving and mending around the fire together. We will have supplies for you.

We will provide a simple and something sweet.
