But now I’m thinking there REALLY weren’t enough.
Are you an experienced researcher with a focus on climate justice?

The number of times I've carefully prepared a 5 minute presentation as requested for a specific meeting agenda compared to other presenters who just pull out their 30 minute slidedeck and wing it is mind numbing.
Ending on time is a feminist act.
A gorgeous winter sunset.

Last night I finished Doppelganger by Naomi Klein. It pulls many topics together into a coherent story of the modern world. Reading in Dec 2024, the analysis of the convergence due to covid of fitness culture and the far right is giving me a lot to think about per the election.

Reminder: you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it, you don’t have to get better at it, you don’t have to monetize it, and it doesn’t have to be useful.
So soft, and the drape with it crocheted in lemon peel stitch is perfect.
This colorway is called moonlight, absolutely love the way it is working up.
