I was accused of non-Title IX gender harassment once, because I had the phrase "Smash the patriarchy" in a bio (I won the case). I'm a queer, GenX, disabled, female librarian who will barter knitwear and veggies for dog pats and book recommendations.

I knit four pink pussy hats and had my partner drop them off at the sign making party today. Can't make it to the protest, but my handknits will be there!
This is a person who has not read your books! I love them all, and am quoting Once and Future Witches in a talk about pockets. It will be a political talk.
I'm going to New Mexico in a month. Today I got a vaccination to travel WITHIN MY OWN COUNTRY. There's a measles outbreak in TX & NM, and while I was vaxxed as a kid against MMR, I wanted to make sure I was fully protected, and that I do my best to prevent further community harm. #VaccinesSaveLives
Cover of the book The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World, by Robin Wall Kimmerer (author of Braiding Sweetgrass)
So much lovely thought went into the design of this book, from the size and texture of the cover and paper, the lovely illustrations, and its layout. Pick up a copy at your local library or bookstore!
Today started with loving kindness meditation, and ended with a chapter on gift economies from The Serviceberry, by Robin Wall Kimmerer. If I could go back to being a botanist, I'd want to be one like her. (Also, we had pancake dinner!)
Watching teenagers singing, dancing, and acting their hearts out in the high school musical!
I hope you love it as much as I did!
Uncle Ceej front and center! ♥️♥️♥️
Apologies, there are eight stories!
Cover of the book Movements and Moments, showing eleven women from different cultures stand like a mountain sculpture
I've had the flu this week, so relaxed into the book Movements and Moments, six graphic novel stories about indigenous feminist activism in the Global South. A good read! #ResistanceBooks #ReadIndigenousWomen #ReadGraphicNovels
On Wednesday we meditate:
May I be filled with living kindness.
May I be well.
May I be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.
May I be peaceful and at ease.
May I be happy.
(With thanks to Wendy, my meditation leader)
I bought two, one for me and one for my college student!
