welcome 2026 small rituals; choosing a word, walking with a plant ally, as practices of relationship. They don’t promise transformation; they invite participation. They give shape to attention, offering something to return to on ordinary days. open.substack.com/pub/tonyalem...

I'm always amazed at how much a visionary William Morris (driving force of the Arts and Crafts Movement) was, &how relevant his words are today! In my latest missive I talk about how art can be political w/out any grand declarations following in his linneage open.substack.com/pub/tonyalem...

On Yoko Ono, Art that Breathes, and why participatory, relational art matters—especially in tumultuous times. I raise a glass to Yoko while she is still with us, foremother, outsider, beacon, and the artist who first taught me that creation is something we do together. substack.com/home/post/p-...

May’s insistence that art is not a luxury feels like both a challenge and an invitation. It invites us to ask: Who gets to make art? Who gets to be seen as an artist? Whose labor is visible, supported, honored? Questions which feel deeply relevant today. open.substack.com/pub/tonyalem...

Queer Legacies at the Intersection of Art & Nature
May Morris and Mary Lobb

"In her time, May Morris fought for a world where art was woven into the fabric of everyday life - accessible, communal, and rooted in
care."

"She teaches us that to imagine with
our hands is to make new worlds possible. This is the spirit that
animates Art that Breathes — a practice of remembering, of re- rooting, of making with and for the
Earth."

Dear @captmarkkelly.bsky.social Why is it that you are undecided on how to vote on the SAVE act which disenfranchises millions of American Voters, largely women? Save act saves nothing but a repressive government’s attempts to hold on to illegal powers. I thought you were one of the good ones
