Resource Roundup #76
For the week of May 26th.
Happy Friday Folks,
It’s a cold and rainy holiday weekend here, and time feels it has regressed somehow. From where I sit, I’m watching the wind pick up outside, spinning the trees out in circles. Nothing is linear. I can sit with that. Be well.
Via Scalawag, “How to Build at the End of the World” by Miliaku Nwabueze. Love this line: “Even a peaceful people know peace is forged.”
Been on repeat all week.
Indigo de Souza in The Creative Independent on embodying your truth. Yes:
As personal as my art is, I recognize that, when someone else is receiving it, it becomes their own, and that’s a really special thing. What I adore about the whole process is how it can be shared in that way.
A great piece by Zoya Teirstein in Grist about the Oath Keepers and the far-right in the climate movement.
Via Haymarket Books, announcing the Writing Freedom Fellowship to support writers impacted by the criminal legal system.
Some small good news this week.
Anderson Clayton, the youngest U.S. state party leader and North Carolina Democratic Party Chair, on Good Morning America.
Finally, some Big Thief for your weekend. I’ve been revisiting this album quite a bit lately, and it really gets better every time I listen. And for one of the best live versions of any song ever— I will sell my soul to have a recorded version of the live Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You.
