Hi friends! My red prayer plant was sitting on top of a bookcase, as happy as can be, but then got too heavy and snapped herself in multiple places. So, one bit got repotted as-is and I am now trying my hand at propagation. I’ll keep you all posted!

Today I want to talk about inclusion and while this is an evergreen topic, I think this part of the year allows for some very relevant examples. I often see acceptance happening without inclusion which makes me ask: Are the words “You are accepted here” worth anything without the actions of inclusion? I say no, not so much.

An example I’ve seen a lot, especially with the amount that we’re using Zoom for conferences, is that there is this general idea of acceptance of everyone (“Everyone’s welcome!”) yet closed captioning isn’t available for panels and talks to actually include folks who need it for access.
