A special little video.

Welcome to my home.

Laziness, and a poem.

Hiraeth: Post-Activism in the Anthropocene is a reader-supported publication that cannot survive without your financial help. It is my belief that artists, writers, musicians, etc. make life worth living. They ask the big questions regarding love, longing, death, wonder, despair, etc. And it costs to do this. It requires real risk—physically, emotionally, and yes, financially. The more we thrive, the more everyone thrives. If you have been blessed with financial abundance, and appreciate what I am offering here, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. Such a simple act (less than the cost of one latte per month) not only helps feed my family but feeds that spark in Life that yearns for real culture to live again. 13 Thank you’s. Honey in the HeART.


*The following details regarding the village of Hin Lad Nai, which I have often referred to here, were sent to me this morning by a close friend.

“Hin Lad Nai was tragically flooded yesterday. Several houses and the school were damaged. The water supply from the mountain was damaged. The road into the village from the pavilion on the main road, a distance of 1.9 kilometers, had a landslide, felled trees, and the only way to enter and exit currently is by walking. Two cars were lost and five were damaged. Two motorcycles were lost and an unknown number were damaged. About 10 pigs were lost. Cows and buffaloes have died. About 20 rai of rice fields are expected to be completely damaged. The rotational fields did not survive. Thankfully, as of today, the villagers are still able to cook food. What they really need is drinking water. There are 11 youths staying at the pavilion at the entrance to the village. To prepare the things to be transported on foot tomorrow morning, which will take about 1 hour. In the evening, the SAO staff brought lunch boxes and drinking water. Tomorrow, the villagers have coordinated with a backhoe from Wiang Pa Pao, but because some areas are still flooded, they may not be able to come and help. What the villagers urgently need is to open the entrance to the village, mainly drinking water and dry food. The next step is to repair the school and clean some houses. Importantly, in the long term, the rice needs are because the fields and farms are damaged. Emphasis on urgent.

Right now, small tractors cannot push the soil. Please coordinate with a backhoe or large tractor to push the soil slide and large trees that have fallen along the way. Let the team bring a generator, food, and drinks into the village. And what the area also needs are candles, generators, food, and drinking water.”

Many of my readers have visited Hin Lad Nai. And all of you have benefited from them. If not directly than indirectly, possibly in ways you are unaware. If you are able, I encourage you to donate what you can to their recovery efforts by contacting the number in this link. https://www.csitereport.com/northflood?member_id=10768&lat=19.2857375&lng=99.3835781&n_id=10510
