@voynich4 I think you’d really enjoy the latest @HotshotWake episode with @Scholar_Melinda …just a phenomenal discussion, and so important for people to digest and start to rethink their perception of fire. Listening right now. Goosebumps.

@DeondreSmiles Right?! The semester hasn’t even started and sadly I had a day of “I’m committed to other projects at this time and don’t have the capacity to take on this initiative” emails. At least I’m saying no at this point, tho?? Stay strong friend!

I strongly encourage folks in the #CAfire and climate world to read this work by Erica Tom, @Scholar_Melinda , and Ron Goode on Indigenous cultural fire and its role as a restorative practice--not only for the land itself, but also for practitioners.
