Happy International Diacritics and Discretionary Ligature Day!

“Sometimes you don’t survive whole, you just survive in part. But the grandeur of life is that attempt. It’s not about that solution. It is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can.” — Toni Morrison on the Connecticut Forum

@virginiablk517 Funny : currently reading those same two books!

Currently OBSESSED w/structure, tho I'm supposed to be in editing mode, not new story generation. Matt Bell's REFUSE TO BE DONE (helping w/the edits) led to Jane Alison's MEANDER, SPIRAL, EXPLODE which contains this brain-warping observation: #WritingCommunity #amediting

@EdieMeade It adds much to one’s to-read list!

I'm kicking off my "NaNoReMo" with Jane Alison's MEANDER SPIRAL EXPLODE! It's been on my list forever and I need this. It's time.

We’re excited to be attending #ForoGLILatam2023 in Medellin over the next few days! / ¡Estamos emocionados de asistir al #ForoGLILatam2023 en Medellín durante los próximos días! @VictoriasSecret @promujer

“There are many causes for this joyousness, I suspect (…) But the sense of the sweet community, belonging, is surely a part of it.” - Oliver Sacks, Oaxaca Journal

New Stretch Goal for the Kickstarter! We’re going to be interviewing dozens of the artists & creators who´ve participated in ArteSumapaz & sharing many approaches to residency that can be life and art transforming.

Hundred bucks shy of our goal, then have some great stretch goals. Working at saving this land, and in the meantime, creating a book of real value! kickstarter.com/projects/artes…

Woot! The project has launched!!! Please come and help support the conservation of over 240 acres in the Colombian Andes, support art, help heal the world! kickstarter.com/projects/artes…

my dad is running a kickstarter to commemorate four years of his art commune !!!! sign up to learn more about the beautiful book (and maybe even spend a weekend at the commune?)

More than just a book of art: but how artists can make these types of experiences into game changers. Very excited (after a huge false start) to get our book project up. Please signup for the launch and updates! kickstarter.com/projects/artes…

@ammcanizares Do you ever need a home for rehabilitated animals. We have 100 hectares of former pastureland being allowed to rewild.

Rant here so bear with me… We got asked to share our situation as one of only two certified wildlife rehab centers in Colombia (the other one is specialized in xenarthras) so we can share how the gov doesn’t really help us when they have to. We sent said letter to the 1/4

Rain frog in the cutlery box this morning!

One spot along the trail is a massive boulder; everyone who spends time with it feels an energy of the sacred. /Un lugar a lo largo del sendero es una roca enorme; todos los que pasan tiempo con él sienten una energía de lo sagrado.

Yesterday was a historical moment for ArteSumapaz: the last two cows were removed from the property, and the first trails were cleared. Let the #reforestation begin! #artistresidency #colombia

At the end of the rains, there are mornings that are crisp and clear, and we can see the snow-capped volcano in the distance. By the way, the cow coral in the foreground is coming down soon! #nomorecows #artistresidency

“…necesitamos soluciones educativas audaces y un proyecto cultural que comprenda que la biodiversidad y la inclusión deben orientar nuestro camino para convertirnos en un país moderno, pacifico, y sostenible”— @davidescobara como nuestro proyecto en ArteSumapaz!

@TropicalStef would be cool to chat sometime, and see if you have any ideas on how we might best approach our nascent restoration program of 100 hectares in the Andes :-)
