    INGOS have to literally STOP knowledge extraction and start paying activists when they come up with bunch of nuanced questions for which they dont want to do a proper desk research-but also bcs they dont know the context.

    It’s Friday again; time to re-center JOY! What brought you 🍀JOY🍀 this week? Please share! For me, it was seeing so many people in three dimensions who make me smile + who give me energy! The extrovert in me is reawakening. (With new respect for boundaries + quiet time.)

    This is the care I need.

    Have you checked in on your staff? Have you offered space for processing, grief, exhaustion & also joy, rest & community? We need to think of these as part of the built in support that needs both time & funding when we think general operating grants. And when we think leadership.

    My snort laugh of the morning: we had an errand at a brand name watch store so we got there at noon when they open. They were closed + running late because they were “scrambling to adjust for daylight savings time”. I think it was more like the St. Pattys weekend Chicago effect.

    I use it 3-5 days a week for ~1hr to sweat out toxins that affect my health. It allows me to pause, reset, + warm up (I run very cold). I read by audiobook or play my Nintendo switch + sometimes I FaceTime a friend to pass on a laugh. I love my sauna + hope it makes you smile!
