My Indigenous people from Maizeland, if you share our plant medicines with people who didn't grow up near you, who came from the viral sort of Christian upbringing, please add this to the list of warnings.
"If you return with messianic ambitions or thinking it is your job to save the world from _insert "white" supremacist moral panic_ then you did it wrong. That was an evil spirit you were supposed to see and banish."
Thank you.

“Hoarding won’t save us … All flourishing is mutual.“

I just listened to this beautiful piece on the nature of the natural world as a web of gift exchanges. The author reminds us that we, humans, are also part of the natural world; this is an economics we can share, and must if we want to save ourselves.
