Whewee, it’s been challenging to stay optimistic and motivated amidst witnessing ecological collapse due to Anthropocentrism and the further unmasking of the technofascist state in the US… Alas, here we are! And we are still little animals in our habitats. These days it feels as though simple actions such as growing our own food, removing invasive species to foster growth of resilient native species, wild foraging for food, material and medicine, and tending to our immediate surroundings (including human and non-human species) can be radical acts.

We can also be the balm! Join Kudzu Culture and friends this weekend March 8th and 9th for two days of Community Through Kudzu:
