Hello! We are dropping in here after a long while to share some news! Starting this month (on Solstice) we will be sending out our new Slow Chats letter, which will be sent out 4 times a year! Part of this decision is as a crew we are not that active on social media but we want to keep connected with you all! So, if you want to keep up to date on our creative projects (like On Belonging), and other musings, please sign up! (link in bio). Thanks for joining us there! And, since we are here, we want to take a moment to celebrate and acknowledge all the incredible solidarity and actions that continue to happen during these increasingly hard times… So much of it is happening in the streets, often beyond social media, but also in subtle and intimate ways. We see you and love you all! Much love and solidarity across the digital portals and beyond. #FreePalestine #SlowChats #thrivistance

[image description in alt text] One of our core artistic practices at grounded futures is to ensure that expectations for output, workflow, and content creation supports folks with neuro differences, mental health challenges, and learning disabilities — such as ADHD, speech impediments, anxiety, dyslexia, and beyond. Often the media art industry has standards that push out folks who have neuro/learning differences. Formal education in the tech industry is often an additional barrier to folks with neuro or learning differences. Grounded Futures encourages skills training that is centred on the learner. #access #media #podcasts #anticapitalism #ethic #neuroqueer #SocialAccess #listening #MentalHealth #MeetingPeopleWhereTheyAreAt #ADHD #ASD #Autism #dyslexia #NeuroDifference #SpeechApraxia #joy #anxiety #rest #uhm

🐦‍⬛NEW Advice Column up!🐦‍⬛ ✨ A reader wrote in with this: “Why is talking about how we share money or even talk about class in a straightforward way so bloody hard? I’d love some advice on how to approach this issue.” 🐦‍⬛ Our ghost columnist, Stone Telling” gave some damn good advice! Link in bio! ✨🐦‍⬛💰🐦‍⬛✨

carla and Dani are hosting another Corvid Anarcho Witchcraft writing circle for paid members! 🐦‍⬛ As we approach the Spring Equinox, thoughts of balance and equity tend to come to mind... but is anyone really able to find balance right now? While things in the world may be tipping rapidly and wobbling on the edge of what might feel like doom, the days are still growing longer, the time of blossoms is quickly approaching, too. And don’t forget Beltane and May Day, the worker’s holiday! There are—even in these dark times—at least a few things to celebrate. 🪻 For this equinox writers circle, we will bring seasonal themed prompts for you to weave more spells: let’s write together and continue co-creating a world worth living in. 🐦‍⬛ In this two hour (virtual) circle, we will provide an optional reading in advance, and in-group generative and thought-provoking writing prompts with options to share and connect with others in our CAW community. Where will you offer reciprocation? How will you celebrate the balance between the dark and the light? 🪻🐦‍⬛🪻 Link in bio!

carla's pod, Walking With Change is back! 🐦‍⬛ Episode #3: Gifting a Better Past with Federico Campagna “Developing a familiarity with the past truly enriches our experience of living and can really give us some incredible tools for facing these impossible challenges that we have to face.” carla sat down with the brilliant and passionate thinker, storyteller, and Italian Philosopher Federico Companga! In this episode, Federico discusses the role of imagination, nostalgia, storytelling, solidarity, and anarchism in creating new worlds. He emphasizes the importance of metaphysical inquiry and the need to reimagine reality. They dive into many other topics from mysticism to what is existence? what it means to be a migrant and find belonging. And the rise of reactionary politics at this time of collapse and unfolding disasters… and more! Much of the conversation stems from Federico’s new fabulous book, Otherworlds: Mediterranean Lessons on Escaping History. You can listen via the link in our bio, or wherever you listen to podcasts! 💫

Happy Samhain! 🕷️ carla & Dani (and three guest writers!) getting witchy in this latest post. 🕷️ “We’ve both been thinking of one of our favorite witches, Hekate, during these precarious times. She is the torch bearer, queen of the witches, goddess of the crossroads. Because where are we currently standing but at the crossroads? Daily, it feels to us like we have one foot stepping into a liberatory future, and another stuck in the rubble of crumbling empire. We don’t know about all of you reading this, but a torch to light the way, to illuminate this chaotic and painful threshold, would be very much welcomed and appreciated right now.” 🕷️ Link in bio!

✨Joy as a passion coexists with all our other feelings. An ethos of rooting into (collective) thriving amidst disaster and chaos times has been the core of the majority of collaborative work that I do! In particular the work done with @groundedfutures While I am amplifying movement practices and sessions with this account, I want to also highlight some of the pathways, places, and people who have helped me to become the person I am today so that I can bring movement forward as an offering in a holistic way. Thank you to all my friends and collaborators at @groundedfutures over the years who have helped me invite in and center joy in all areas of my life 💜
