“Most Americans take their sovereignty for granted—the nation’s right to make its own laws and govern its own people. The same rights we recognize in other sovereign nations, with one glaring exception—the Native nations and tribes who were here first.”

“What if the chat you avoid having could help resolve a problem in your relationship, or clarify an area of disagreement? What if it wouldn’t be nearly as rough as you expect? . . . Nicholas Epley, a psychologist at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and his colleagues have repeatedly found that sit-down conversations—even ones about seemingly touchy subjects—often end up being more positive experiences than people anticipate.”

Could anybody use a writer to team up with on an endeavor that makes the world a better place? I’ve got an MA in Writing (from the National University of Ireland, Galway, with first-class honors) and am cobbling together a livelihood that feels good. I’ve done many kinds of writing and editing but mainly write creative nonfiction these days. I like to work by natural rhythms rather than deadlines, as I believe we do our best work when guided by our proclivities.

This course changed my life. I highly recommend it to anyone it at all appeals to.

“Animism is the practice of loving and respecting our greater family—mountains and rivers, plants and animals, stones and stars, the living and the dead. . . .

“We endeavor to return to conscious connection because it’s good for us, because this supports our work for systemic change and cultural repair, and because it’s more honest. We’ve never been and will never be truly alone.”

Seeing any improvement?

My dad spouts weird random stuff, too. I’m not sure how much of it he has made up versus gotten from somewhere, but sometimes I’ll hear more of a saying, which makes it make sense. Like when something becomes clear to him, he says, “ ‘I see,’ said the blind man.” It never made any sense but was just one of those things you take in stride as a kid. In recent years, I learned it’s a common saying *with a punchline*: “. . . and then he picked up his hammer and saw.”

@jeffowski @IntentionallyBLANK I like this take! 🤔
