What’s all this, now?

ecologist gone black

  • is a gestation of lines

  • the jubilant wailings of a shape-shifting monster in the black

  • a practice tending to my voice as an independent scholar

  • a grief ritual to usher in joy, life

  • and, and, and…

Who is writing this?

Many call this author of this newletter Flore (they/them or li). They are from Mountains and are fed by many Rivers. The plants are their dear friends. Once ago, they studied Environmental Sciences and Place-based Ecology and played with the concept of sustainability as a facilitator, educator, and teacher.

Currently, this queer Haitian intellect enjoys making with their hands, studying processes (various), and tinkering with the practice of freedom, personal & collective.

Materials: fibers, fire, fabrics, botanical pigments and dyes, medicinal herbs, paper, threads, and memories.

Living occupied Southern Pomo and Coastal Miwok Land.

Flore cracking themselves up at a Cotton farm in California, USA.
