What's Working: vol 32
curated links & our monthly sharing space
Each month I share what’s been working well in my life plus a curated list of links to what I’ve been reading, listening to, watching, and cooking.
In the comments I’d love to hear what’s been working well for you, plus your own links & recs!
What’s Working
Drinking enough water. Eating enough food. Getting enough sleep. Enoughness as a compass, just generally. Rewatching my favorite comfort shows (ahem, Hart of Dixie). Doing toe yoga, even though I’m not very good at it. Telling people how I really feel, even when it’s vulnerable. Practicing meditation, even though it’s not daily. Continuing to unlearn the all-or-nothing mindset. Tart cherry juice. Post-it note affirmations. Making lists of what I have access to that can be shared with others. Remembering to use sunblock. Being mindful of what is/is not within my sphere of control. A hot washcloth on my face at the end of the day.
Reading, Watching, Listening
In this essay
talks about his shift from being “an agent of change to an agent of care,” and that really resonates with me.Margaret Killjoy and Kelly Hayes in conversation about preparedness and collective survival in these times? Yes please.
Toi Smith always asks such pivotal questions in her newsletter. Such as: “What would it mean to see wealth, land, and opportunity not as personal entitlements but as collective resources that have been unevenly distributed by design? To ask not ‘What can I spare?’ but ‘What is truly owed?’”
Speaking of Toi Smith, she was recently in conversation with Della Duncan on the topic of post-capitalist parenting and wow, A+ recommend.
