February Chronicle by Laura Dubourjal (sound) Lacey Verhalen (visuals).

Do you really have time? So maybe it’s better to Focus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> on communication

Group think….

zoom square nervous system: left arm, neck, right leg, right hand, right foot, left hand, brain, right arm, left leg, left foot, hips, spine….

WALK *brain command* ripple effect

Formal structures counteract the inevitability of elites

scaffolding, frames,

to be supportive in, to, with, and through.

Animals as symbols, guiding structures

hummingbird, collects knowledge 

spider, makes connections 

parrot, communicator work of community and mediation
affinity groups emerging out of necessity

Descent of Inanna

A myth to model a psychology of liberation

Be Careful with Each Other So We Can Be Dangerous Together

You gotta keep your body strong. 

Respect yourself & you will live long 

Do not open the door: it’s the police

abolish the desire for power 

….colonial hoarding to decolonial sharing 

Picture a coalition 

*testing the limits* 

But

No-pointing: If you wouldn’t point anymore but rattle off the facts

Strategies

– fill the molotov with petrol
