Happy Friday Folks,
It’s been an exhausting but busy-in-the-good way week around here. See our recap of the recent Good Folk Fest here, and enjoy the resources below as you head into your weekend.
This sounds like an incredible workshop on eco-mythology and embodied storytelling.
As does this one: Joy in the time of Apocalypse.
Our friends at 723 released an EP today that is just. so. good. I cannot stop listening to this. Catch it live next weekend.
Yeah, we’re feeling that heatwave. Here’s the New York Times on how extreme heat in Texas is only a sign of what’s to come.
I’ve been teaching my students about the quilters of Gee’s Bend, Alabama for years. Here’s a great short film for more.
Also loving this new track from Asheville-based band Tombstone Poetry.
Marlee Grace’s newsletters is one of the few I open every week. Loved this one on teaching as a practice. It reminds me quite a bit of what I’ve been saying to everyone in my life about my new philosophy that organizing is as much a form of artistry as anything else— and how I’m starting to think it’s mine.
They’re playing Ethel Cain in the coffee shop I write this to you from, so, of course, here is the best song of all time.
More newsletter recs: I’ve also recently gotten into Don’t Rock the Inbox. Here’s a profile they did on Nick Shoulders, Arkansas, the beauty of busking, and the fight for a better country.
There is beauty everywhere you look. Look for it.
❤️❤️❤️
