This event has been rescheduled due to heavy rains and flooding in Gauteng South Africa. Please keep Gogo's safety in your thoughts and we are currently planning to hold this discussion the following week May 3rd if Likhambi Wellness sanctuary is spared by the flooding river nearby.

Join us this weekend for a conversation dreams and dream work and their relationship to community resilience and healthy interdependence

Have you ever considered that your emotional responses are functional? Working, oscillating, compensating, moving energy in and down, up and out through your body? Serving a legitimate purpose that we’ve been taught to reinterpret in strange ways that serve capitalism better than our bodies?

Harvard “ is a threat to democracy with a lawyer who represents me who should therefore be forced to resign or be fired” What? Who is he talking about? My only thought was Dershowitz?

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

Yiles on bikes y'all. This is gonna be my new argument for getting students to stop using LLM-type "AI": You wanna look like the mypillow guy's legal team? Do you???

“Debbie Becher, a Barnard sociology professor who is Jewish, said that the survey disturbed her in several ways. As a Jew, she said she found it “a bit terrifying” that the federal government “wants to know who the Jews are through some text message and Microsoft Office form.”

But the incentive is for more white women to get pregnant. That’s what this is all really about.

Kiev Diner - at the southwest corner of E. 6th Street and 2nd Ave. We lived across the street and called it “the kitchen” because we sometimes ate every meal there. The potato pickle soup, their “vegetarian chopped liver” sandwiches on fresh challah - the whole place.

This sounds like a really important book about autism and food and I’m sorry it hasn’t gotten the hype it needs! Off to check it out now.

THIS THIS THIS THIS

Its a White House tweet to encourage his followers and institutions that are cowering or collaborating with this administration to abandon, test, defy, and no longer feel bound by the law.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

Several Executive Orders were posted tonight. One that I'll focus on that targets higher ed specifically is a new EO to reform accreditation processes. This seems to be the next battleground for getting universities to comply with the requests they've rejected. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Gogo Khayela is a scholar and a sangoma who works with African centered healing modalities. She is also a doctoral student in Psychology studying ethics in traditional healing. I’m me. We will be talking with each other and with folks who join us about ubuntu and dream work, and dream sharing

This is unbelievable. DOD is engaged in illegal removals to evade judicial orders. We are reaching new lows every day

One thing that's become clear: Our system is not equipped for a DOJ that exploits the courts' assumption of good faith. At some point that should matter. Because as they're forced to wait out delays, bait-and-switches, and feigned ignorance in case after case, real people are suffering real harm.

As one of the people committed to hosting a monthly meeting, I am grateful to Martha for having this idea and bringing us together to make it happen.
