My own personal resources
I am putting up this page primarily to keep track of some of the resources I care about in my own learning about what it can mean to be on the journey of becoming related to justice, to anti-racism, to deep compassion.
Books that matter to me
- Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde
- Healing Resistance by Kazu Haga
- See No Stranger by Valarie Kaur
- Humankind: A Hopeful History by Rutger Bregman
- All of the Vorkosigan and Chalion books by Lois McMaster Bujold

- All of the novels by Deborah Harkness
- Imaginable by Jane McGonigal (actually, any and all of her books!)
