Currently, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) work rarely provides training and support for the weight-based discrimination, bias, and stigma that happens frequently in the workplace. Miriam Chiasson (she/her/elle/la) shares details of the workshop she's created to change that. And she offers practical actions that individuals and organizations can take to create a more inclusive workplace.Miriam Chiasson is a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion professional working for a leading DEI charity in Canada. She has delivered numerous training sessions in various workplaces and for the public on topics such as gender diversity, the inclusion of folks with disabilities, and inclusive language in English and in French. As a fat person, she also delivers on the topics of fatphobia, body diversity, and fat inclusion, areas that are relatively new to the DEI profession. Miriam has a background in history, anthropology, and library science. She worked as a public librarian for 5 years before finding a new outlet for her passion for social justice in DEI work.

Connor pops in to announce incredibly belatedly what has already been apparent for months: Close Talking is on a hiatus! We've had some big life and career changes that have unexpectedly cut into our capacity for the podcast, but it's not a permanent hiatus! Okay, a poem: Tune By: Kay Ryan Imagine a sea of ultramarine suspending a million jellyfish as soft as moons. Imagine the interlocking uninsistent tunes of drifting things. This is the deep machine that powers the lamps of dreams and accounts for their bluish tint. How can something so grand and serene vanish again and again without a hint?

Brace yourselves—it's time for another trilogy of episodes as we dive into the library for a book of exquisite density. While Isle of the Mighty (our previous three-fer) was long in addition to dense, Dreams and Nightmares is a trim 128 pages with standard-sized font. So why the excessive episodage for it? Because this is the first, last, and thus far only entry in the Changeling canon to give us a thorough look at the Dreaming, whose impact on the world of the game cannot be overemphasized. This week, as we enter the Near Dreaming, we're joined by (friend of the show, Patron, and host of Mage: the Podcast) Terry Robinson to talk about the overall cosmology and metaphysics of this plane, its connections to broader Mage and WoD cosmology, and specifically the Nearer side of things. Much mayhem ensued! The book can be purchased from https://www.storytellersvault.com/product/2173/Dreams-and-Nightmares?affiliate_id=3063731, and if the interwebs are a kind of Dreaming, then here are some of our Realms: Discord: https://discord.me/ctp Email: podcast@changelingthepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082973960699 Mastodon: https://dice.camp/@ChangelingPod Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/changelingthepodcast Meanwhile, Terry can be found in places that include: Mage: the Podcast: https://discord.gg/SAryjXGm5j Mage: the Podcast Discord page: podcast@changelingthepodcast.com Pain in the Dice podcast (with Chazz Kellner): https://www.paininthedice.com/ Systematic Understanding of Everything, an Exalted podcast: https://www.exaltcast.com Storyteller's Vault material: https://www.storytellersvault.com/browse.php?author=Terry%20Robinson Twitters include @magethepodcast and @terryrobinson your hosts Josh Hillerup (any pronoun) takes a trod to work because the bridge traffic is just unacceptable since the new troll started working under there.

This week: why do so many of us stagger through life leaving a trail of chaos and confusion? American poet, Kay Ryan, reveals it's because we are carrying an invisible ladder. The poems referenced are ‘We're Building the Ship As We Sail It', ‘Carrying A Ladder' and ‘Blandeur'.

When Louise Gluck accepted her National Book Award for Faithful and Virtuous Night, she said, in part, "I'm astonished. My thanks to the judges for their mercy. Four times," she said, "This is a difficult evening. It's very difficult to lose. I've lost many times. And it is also, it turns out, is very difficult to win. It is not in my script," she said, to a general scattering of laughter in the audience. Watch it here.   Gary Soto was born April 12, 1952.

History of National Poetry Writing Month National Poetry Writing Month (also known as NaPoWriMo) is a creative writing project held annually in April in which participants attempt to write a poem each day for one month. NaPoWriMo coincides with the National Poetry Month in the United States of America and Canada. NaPoWriMo, or National Poetry Writing Month, is an annual project in which participating poets attempt to write a poem a day for the month of April. This website is owned and operated by Maureen Thorson, a poet living in Washington, DC. Inspired by NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month), she started writing a poem a day for the month of April back in 2003, posting the poems on her blog. When other people started writing poems for April, and posting them on their own blogs, Maureen linked to them. After a few years, so many people were doing NaPoWriMo that Maureen decided to launch an independent website for the project. My History with National Poetry Writing Month I started writing poetry in 1988 after I had been exposed to T.S. Elliot in my honors English class in high school. In 1992 I started reading my poetry publicly at Espesso Europia Coffee Shop in Abilene Tx while I was in the United States Air Force. This continued for many years when I ran my own poetry reading at Cannova's in Loves Park Illinois and attended the poetry slams at The green Mill in Chicago Illinois. While living in Rockford Illinois I published my first book of poetry Throwing Yourself at the Ground and Missing in 2007 followed by Postcards From Someone You Don't Know in 2008 Wisdom From the Sack in 2010 and Shaving Crop Circles In My Chest Hair in 2017. You can get copies of all of these books in my merch section. In 2009 I started participating in National Poetry Writing Month which became the basis for my book Wisdom From the Sack and Shaving Crop Circles in My Chest Hair. In 2020 I started publishing my podcast version of the challenge and those can be viewed here for 2020 and here for 2021. April 23rd Poetry Prompt And now for our daily (optional) prompt. Today I'd like to challenge you to write a poem in the style of Kay Ryan, whose poems tend to be short and snappy – with a lot of rhyme and soundplay. They also have a deceptive simplicity about them, like proverbs or aphorisms. Once you've read a few, you'll see what I mean. Here's her “Token Loss,” “Blue China Doorknob,” “Houdini,” and “Crustacean Island.” April 23rd Poem Unwanted Solicitation  23 April 2022  When I pick up the phone  I can tell by the tone  That the person on the other end  Is trying to be a friend  But they want to sell me  On some loan with a fee  And I tell them  That they are not welcome  To call me again  Opps I lost another potential friend  When they knock on my door  I find it a bore  That the person outside  Is stepping away from the door to hide  Does your grass need  Our special anti-weed  It's safe for pets  And will get rid of spider nets  When I tell the fool  I don't need their liquid tool  I like my spiders  They are an excellent source of fiber  They turn around and leave  Giving me time to breathe  Walking in the bulk store  They walk up to me and implore  That I need to get new windows  And when I ask for a price, they blow  Maybe you need a new deck  And I say what the heck  I give them the number  To the plumber  Whom I just met  And made my floors wet  Maybe they can be friends  While I listen to music peacefully in my den  Reaching Out To reach out to me, email timothy@createartpodcast.com I would love to hear about your journey and what you are working on. If you would like to be on the show or have me discuss a topic that is giving you trouble write in and let's start that conversation.

In this episode we continue our conversation with Mary Kay Ryan. She and Daniel detail Shamanic experiences of interacting with what are perceived as divine forces. Mary Kay mentions the show Lucifer and its many humurous perspectives on various traditional views on the relationships between God and his family. She also shares a story of meeting a Daoist Immortal... in Chicago! Also we detail wisdom as a process of remembering, seeing the world as divine and communicating the feeling of an experience through storytelling. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gintantra/message

In this episode we dive headfitst in nuance as we discuss perfectionism as a philosophical movement, a moral standard and a psychological impediment. We discuss a journey to perfection experienced by Mary Kay and how she feels that a lot of therapy is about finding out who is at fault for why you are the way you are. Mary Kay also discusses using Shamanic techniques for healing and asking oneself, what is the point of my life? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gintantra/message

Miss Lucy disembarks from the slow train to stop in and read "100 Bolts of Satin" by Kay Ryan to commemorate our 100th episode. You will hear Shakespeare's 100th Sonnet read, as well as the 100th Psalm. Finally, we give a shout out to all kinds of fellow travelers along the way.

This small lyric poem is a quiet yet ironic meditation on what's left after a life--specifically, the marks that should be there but that are not. It's a plainsong evocation of loss with a subtle ironic undertow, a beautifully said poem from one of the United States' best lyric poets.

My laptop battery is down to 11% so I gotta get this thing published. I also need food. I also would love to hear you guys tell me about an artist/writer/filmmaker you hated until you loved. I'm looking outside as I type this, and the world looks hazy and dreamy and exactly like I prefer it. So out I go to walk in it. With my Yeezus praying skeleton shirt on and Kay Ryan's deep tracks in my head. I'm ready for anything.

Interview with author Jesse Browner; Kay Ryan at Poets & Writers Live in San Francisco; a reading by poet Rowan Ricardo Phillips.

Kay Ryan is widely regarded as one of America’s great living poets. Her book The Best of It: New and Selected Poems won her the Pulitzer Prize in 2011, and she was the US Poet Laureate from 2008-2010. However, despite the plaudits, Ryan is no creature of the establishment: she once said ‘it’s poetry’s uselessness that excites me.’ Both Ryan’s poetry and personality are on show in this event, recorded live at the 2013 Edinburgh International Book Festival. With Robyn Marsack, Director of the Scottish Poetry Library.
