I quietly launched a regenerative field of practice last year, and am hoping to engage in some dialogues in the future and would love to keep in touch. This was actually a way of keeping my independence as a thinker, scholar, facilitator, practitioner and still be able to live... www.anayennisi.org

I was genuinely thinking the other day that I missed your insights on social media, and I was grateful to access your thinking through this piece today.

This was so thoughtful and filled with vital insights. You might also be interested in this book review of Climate Justice and the University I wrote. I feel there is resonance between your incisive critique and her vision that gestures toward a re-imagining of post-secondary ed. bit.ly/48ioTQS

Make yourself unavailable to being authored by forces that cannot love you well.

The wildfire haze has reached dangerous levels where we live. Another day we must stay inside while our pup languishes from no walks outside. Yet our Prime Minister's vision for the country is to be able to "feed, fuel, and defend ourselves"? How do we "defend" ourselves from this?

Oh my - did I ever love this commentary today.

Make something alive out of what modernity tells you is over. Love from lineage that honours ancestral transmissions. Let portals become the sky. Remember that truth always looks too bright before it becomes the new horizon.

Deeply concerning. Bill C-22 aligns Canada with the most oppressive regimes around freedom of expression and privacy.
