Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig should be made mandatory reading. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Twisting and turning through the contours of human consciousness and understanding, Bayo and Ayana dive into meaningful and existential questions. If justice is an action and not a static state, how can we embody it? Touching on the historical roots of fugitivity from the politics of the slave ship and beyond, Bayo challenges us to lean into the “political un-project” that is fugitivity, blurring societally-imposed binaries, in order to better understand the human territory and to make more-than-human sanctuary through post activism. ![]() Returning guest Bayo Akomolafe guides listeners on a journey to lose oneself and leave behind the ties that bind us to world views that do not serve humanity’s wholeness. “The fugitive is the figure of the Anthropocene, a political invitation to unlearn ‘mastery,’ to fall to the Earth, to learn how to commune with soil… In a sense, the fugitive answers the question that is hidden within the words of my Elders, when they say: ‘in order to find your way, you must become lost.’” We are so honored to share an episode with you from one of our favorite podcasts, FOR THE WILD. ![]() ![]() ![]() She viewed many of the doctors as incompetent, or as being overly confident in unproven methods. However, Elizabeth also gained a greater sense of the many limits/shortcomings of medical knowledge at the time. Elizabeth found the practice of talking to patients rewarding, for even if she did not understand their symptoms, she could develop her presentation of medical authority. ![]() Despite the fact that Blockley’s administration accepted Elizabeth as an employee, the medical staff largely ignored her, and much of her experience was based simply on attempting to covertly observe the doctors at work.

Is there a word for a book that breaks your heart into tiny, tiny pieces? My favorite book in all the world is a book like that. Read this, and then come back and thank me for pushing this on you reading list! Why are you punishing yourselves, reading other duds, when yo can be in bliss if you read this one? This book has been neglected enough! Read this people. My dear friend, Wendy, has been praising the heck out of this book. I feel that maybe it isn't safe to laugh, to let go of my vigilance over my dad, over my self, but I can hardly help it because it feels so good. "I feel like that violing, only my strings are loosening, unwinding from the pegs, and I feel strange this way. And all of a sudden, we're introduced to incredible side characters, a great support system and strangers who end up feeling like family. Here we are, reading about an extremly hard sittuation and how a devoted son deals with it the best way he can. How did it manage to still be humorous and a bit fun, while dealing with the subject matter? By the amazing talents of its author. I got somewhat the same feeling while reading Flat-Out Love, but Crazy has a slighter darker vibe, because of the subject matter.
