  • I was told about this podcast by a fellow organizer who's trying to help my community learn to hold space for grief and recognize mothering work. I'm sharing it with friends who are trying to build mutually-sustaining community in every way we can. I'm really appreciating the Fractals series as an antidote to the doomscroll gravity of the news. From Chattanooga (a name given by the Yuchi and Muscogee peoples of this place), we appreciate you sharing so much of yourselves to help us on our way!
