The focus of our March 2nd Grief Retreat stemmed from a poem by @atenaoyadi.bsky.social called Mending. Around a fire we wove w dogwood & on looms, mended clothes, had foods/teas made w care, and reflected on rest & community care. It was such a thoughtful lovely day! Our next one is on June 22nd

Y'all, @kimkelly.bsky.social wrote a children's book about labor history and I think everyone should preorder it. While our enemies try to erase histories of oppression and liberation, this is a crucial time to keep history alive in our own homes, and wherever people of all ages exchange ideas.
