How did the wellness industry become so conservative, ableist, racist, & transphobic? How can herbalists help educate our holistic-minded peers & reverse this harmful trend? I'm teaching a class on Nov 5 to share 3 yrs of my research on this problem.

Upcoming class on Nov 5 - Holistic Healthcare & Health Supremacy: The Conservative Shift in Wellness Culture.

I'll share some of my research over the last 3 yrs on this topic and discuss what we herbalists can do to prevent its spread.

Naturalizing human and chimpanzee patriarchy is European-colonial-patriarchal propaganda. 😥

This is incredible! You're so talented!

A photo of quilt squares laid together but not sewn together. There are 16 triangular pieces. Each triangle has a grey piece in the middle and strips of different colored fabrics on each side. When placed together they form a four pointed star and octagonal shapes made up of many stripes of fabric, looking loosely like a spider web. They are laid out on a bed covered with a white comforter.

Still recovering for this flu 3+ weeks later. Feeling very disconnected from anything good feeling, but was able to get myself to start this spiderweb quilt I’ve been dreaming about. I’ve lost my skill with blocking fabric square, so my foundation pieces are off which will bite me later. ⬇️

Declassified CIA Guide to Sabotaging Fascism Is Suddenly Viral The World War II-era "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.

Fascinating: WWII-era CIA invented their own take on Luddism/tool breaking plus advice on enhancing bureaucratic stupidity to thwart fascism. And now everyone wants to read their manual, apparently. www.404media.co/declassified...
