book review episode - "dispersals" by jessica j. lee
in today's episode, we review dispersals: on plants, borders, and belonging by jessica j. lee. at a time when the world feels more fraught than ever, we can learn a lot from plants and the ways that they move through the world. and, as the book illustrates in beautiful story form, the language we use to describe how plants move through the world has some chilling colonial connections to the ways we describe how humans move through the world. originally a series of essays, the chapters in this book take us on an adventure around the world, giving us a different lesson through the lens of each new plant.

season 5, episode 3 - "fibershed" by rebecca burgess
in today's episode, we review fibershed: growing a movement of farmers, fashion activists, and makers for a new textile economy by rebecca burgess. while ash has been embedded in fibreshed advocacy, economy, and practices for the better part of a decade now, this book is a seminal read no matter where you might self-identify on the “fashion as daily life priority” spectrum. with its soil-to-skin-to-soil values and methods, fibershed makes the argument for and outlines the ways through which we can move forward as the current fashion industry collapses in on itself and humans continue to need to wear clothes. through hard data and important stories, burgess lays out the path for re-investing in our local land-based textile economies in creative, sustainable, and financially viable ways.
