Thank you so much for this, Ayana! It resonates right on time with the mycelial facilitation work that I'm developing for the new year--showing people back to their intuitive abilities to connect with the entangled webs that already exist within and around them. Will definitely be holding offerings in public libraries, :) and already planning a class oriented around the fractal patterns that amb and others have written about. How can mycelium show us a way forward amidst ever-present uncertainty?
yes Anna! that last question is THE ONE. and it's a big and juicy one too — so much violence and fear springs out of an aversion to uncertainty. i wonder how that same uncertainty, wildness if you will, becomes a catalyst for improvisation, intimacy, interdependence, love.
The portion about aesthetics is so good! Online woman are now being advertised aesthetics as an avenue for self expression. Whether it’s through make up or fashion, all of it bottles into a performance or lifestyle to aspire to. But what you write about is such a good counter balance because it is an ever present reminder about the community we inhabit, and roots us in what truly brings us fulfillment-people and passions.
yes! and also the beauty of worldbuilding is nothing is off limits. we can do and be all the above in our methods of gender expansion and embodiment — whether it's make up and fashion or exploring the aesthetics of community building through forest ecology and black feminism. 🌱
