Art Omi Pavilions @ Chatham recently broke ground, making way for customized buildings to house legacy art collections of artists and collectors to preserve "the aesthetic coherence, spirit, and holistic qualities that distinguish a body of work created or assembled from a singular point of view over a lifetime." To better understand this project, Sina Basila Hickey spoke with Co-directors Natalie Diaz and Francis Greenburger about this project. Learn more at https://artomipavilions.org/

Cervical dystonia (sometimes called neck dystonia) is the abnormal position of the muscles of the neck, causing a twisted, turned, flexed or extended neck position. Abnormal signals coming from the deep parts of the brain cause this condition and therefore it is not muscular in nature and will not resolve with muscle massage or stretching.The mainstay of treatment of cervical dystonia is with injection of botulinum toxin, such as Botox or Xeomin. Botulinum toxin injections work by causing a disruption between the nerve and the muscle, thereby weakening the muscle that it is injected into. For cervical dystonia, because the muscles that are pulling or twisting the neck to one side are overactive, Botox works to calm those specific muscles down and allows for a more natural and neutral head position.

Cześć! Po dłuższej przerwie wracamy, oczywiście z dobrymi książkami. Zaczniemy od poezji: mamy nadzieję, że to Was nie odstraszy, bo Paya w ostatnim czasie znalazła aż dwie perełki. Pierwsza to „Postkolonialny wiersz miłosny” autorstwa Natalie Diaz w tłumaczeniu Joanny Mąkowskiej. To zbiór pełen queerowych i wywrotowych wierszy o współczesnych Stanach, koszykówce i, oczywiście, rzekach. W drugim zbiorze również pojawia się rzeka. Tym razem przygląda jej się Muriel Rukeyser swoim zarówno poetyckim, jak i reporterskim wzrokiem, by opowiedzieć wierszem o pewnej katastrofie z lat 30. XX wieku. Od poezji przejdziemy do prozy. Zanurzymy się razem w świat wyjątkowych bohaterek książki „Walentynka” Elizabeth Wetmore. Pogadamy o kreacji postaci, o burzach piaskowych i o sprawczości. A na koniec, dzięki książce Megan Nolan „Zwykłe ludzie ułomności”, skupimy się na rodzinie, pewnej tragedii i na potrzebach sensacyjnych historii. Czy jest tak, jak mówił klasyk, że „każda nieszczęśliwa rodzina jest nieszczęśliwa na swój sposób”, czy też zupełnie inaczej? Posłuchajcie odcinka, by się dowiedzieć! Książki, o których mówimy w podkaście: Natalie Diaz, „Postkolonialny wiersz miłosny”, tłum. Joanna Mąkowska; Wydawnictwo Współbycie; Muriel Rukeyser, „U.S. 1” tłum.

Join us in this enlightening episode as we sit down with Kristin Brown, a remarkable twin mom and the go-to expert in prenatal and perinatal nutrition. Kristin shares her unique journey through pregnancy, shedding light on the often-overlooked aspect of nutrition in maternal care. During her pregnancy, Kristin visited numerous specialists, yet the topic of nutrition was scarcely touched upon, beyond the routine inquiry about prenatal vitamins. This sparked a realization that, despite the medicinal power of food, it is frequently sidelined in medical conversations. In this thought-provoking discussion, we explore the crucial role that nutrition plays in the health of both mom and baby.Learn more with Kristin:Instagram - @prenatal.dieticianKristinbrownnutrition.com Subscribe to the Twiniversity Email Newsletter!

Dystonia is a mysterious condition that causes muscles to contract involuntarily. It can strike many parts of the body, making the head turn, the eyelids close, or the hand twist. We don't know what causes dystonia. It can arise after head trauma or a stroke, and it often appears in conjunction with Parkinson's disease. There is no cure, but experts like Dr. Natalie Diaz, a neurologist at PNI, can ease the symptoms with medication. A treatment you may not expect: Botox. A natural toxin, Botox prevents the release of a neurotransmitter that causes the muscles to contract. After an injection, dystonia sufferers very often find that their symptoms dissipate, and that is a welcome relief from this strange, discomforting disease.

This week, our guest is poet Natalie Diaz in conversation with essayist and author Hilton Als.  Natalie Diaz is an enrolled member of the Gila River Indian community and is the director of the Fort Mojave Language Recovery Program, where she works with the last remaining speakers of the Mojave language. Language and loss are explored throughout Diaz's poetry, in collections including When My Brother Was an Aztec and Postcolonial Love Poem, which won her the Pulitzer Prize. Hilton Als is another writer whose work explores American identity, in theater reviews, articles, and essays for The New Yorker, where he's contributed since 1989. Als received the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in Criticism, “for bold and original reviews that strove to put stage dramas within a real-world cultural context.”  His writing explores race, sexuality, class, art, and American identity provocatively, exploding the boundaries of the genre in which it is contained.  His most recent book is a memoir, My Pinup. On February 9, 2023, Natalie Diaz and Hilton Als came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco for an onstage conversation, during which Diaz read from her work.

What Things Cost: An Anthology for the People (UP of Kentucky, 2023) is the first major anthology of labor writing in nearly a century. Here, editors Rebecca Gayle Howell & Ashley M. Jones bring together more than one hundred contemporary writers singing out from the corners of the 99 Percent, each telling their own truth of today's economy. In his final days, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called for a "multiracial coalition of the working poor." King hoped this coalition would become the next civil rights movement but he was assassinated before he could see it emerge as the Poor People's Campaign, now led by Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis. King's last lesson--about the dangers of dividing working people--inspired the conversation gathered here by Jones and Howell.  Fifty-five years after the assassination of King, What Things Cost collects stories that are honest, provocative, and galvanizing, sharing the hidden costs of labor and laboring in the United States of America. Voices such as Sonia Sanchez, Faisal Mohyuddin, Natalie Diaz, Ocean Vuong, Silas House, Sonia Guiñansaca, Reginald Dwayne Betts, Victoria Chang, Crystal Wilkinson, Gerald Stern, and Jericho Brown weave together the living stories of the campaign's broad swath of supporters, creating a literary tapestry that depicts the struggle and solidarity behind the work of building a more just America. All proceeds from the book will be donated to the Poor People's Campaign. Stephen Pimpare is director of the Public Service & Nonprofit Leadership program and Faculty Fellow at the Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire.

Cervical dystonia (sometimes called neck dystonia) is the abnormal position of the muscles of the neck, causing a twisted, turned, flexed or extended neck position. Abnormal signals coming from the deep parts of the brain cause this condition and therefore it is not muscular in nature and will not resolve with muscle massage or stretching.Join us in raising awareness to dystonia with Natalie Diaz, MD, board-certified neurologist with fellowship training in movement disorders at Pacific Neuroscience Institute.

Have you ever wished that you could join the conversations that you hear in podcasts? Do you find yourself longing for deeper conversations with people you meet in your daily life? In today's episode, we're responding to a question from Monique, a member of our Patreon community: “How do you go about having deeper conversations when not everyone wants or is in the head space to have them, or they find deep conversations uncomfortable?” Sheryl and Victoria explore what we really mean when we say "deep conversations," conditions that help us reach more depth, and some of the barriers that keep us at the surface. And, we consider the importance of meeting people where they are and building trust to invite deeper connection.  References: Stolen Focus, by Johann Hari Envelopes of Air, by Natalie Diaz and Ada Limón

See more of her work in our Get Lit Anthology."Manhattan is a Lenape Word"It is December and we must be brave.The ambulance's rose of lightblooming against the window.Its single siren-cry: Help me.A silk-red shadow unbolting like waterthrough the orchard of her thigh.Her, come—in the green night, a lion.I sleep her bees with my mouth of smoke,dip honey with my hands stung sweeton the darksome hive.Out of the eater I eat. Meaning,She is mine, colony.The things I know aren't easy:I'm the only Native Americanon the 8th floor of this hotel or any,looking out any windowof a turn-of-the-century buildingin Manhattan.Manhattan is a Lenape word.Even a watch must be wound.How can a century or a heart turnif nobody asks, Where have allthe natives gone?If you are where you are, then whereare those who are not here? Not here.Which is why in this city I havemany lovers. All my lovesare reparations loves.What is loneliness if not unimaginablelight and measured in lumens—an electric bill which must be paid,a taxi cab floating across three laneswith its lamp lit, gold in wanting.At 2 a.m. everyone in New York Cityis empty and asking for someone.Again, the siren's same wide note:Help me. Meaning, I have a giftand it is my body, made two-handedof gods and bronze.She says, You make me feellike lightning. I say, I don't everwant to make you feel that white.It's too late—I can't stop seeingher bones. I'm counting the carpals,metacarpals of her hand inside me.One bone, the lunate bone, is namedfor its crescent outline. Lunatus. Luna.Some nights she rises like that in me,like trouble—a slow luminous flux.The streetlamp beckons the lonelycoyote wandering West 29th Streetby offering its long wrist of light.The coyote answers by lifting its headand crying stars.Somewhere far from New York City,an American drone finds then lovesa body—the radiant nectar it seeksthrough great darkness—makesa candle-hour of it, and burnsgently along it, like American touch,an unbearable heat.The siren song returns in me,I sing it across her throat: Am Iwhat I love?

When you're a doctor treating Parkinson's disease, it's a matter of picking the most appropriate arrow from your quiver. There is no cure for the disease yet, but there are more than 20 different medications that can improve a patient's wellbeing. Dr. Natalie Diaz, a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders, is familiar with all of them. Some 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's every year, and more than 10 million people worldwide are living with the disease. The risk of Parkinson's increases with age, and that's one of the factors Dr. Diaz considers when recommending treatment. Among the others are symptoms and side effects. In some cases, she may recommend a surgical treatment called deep brain stimulation. Her goal is to keep Parkinson's and its symptoms at bay for as long as possible, and with so many options, patients can live quite well achieving good quality of life. Listen to this podcast to hear Dr. Diaz talk about how she helps them do it.

In this episode, Dario sits with writer and MacArthur “Genius Grant” Fellow, Jacqueline Woodson. Woodson's work reflects the prose, poetry, and undying possibilities that exist within the lives of young Black people. Often including themes that land her books on censored reading lists, Woodson challenges readers to consider our own relationships to the complexities and contraindications of life.  In today's conversation, we'll explore themes of parenting in a pandemic, the techniques and tools of a storyteller, Black economic wealth across generations, and the promise of safety young people bring to this world. If you aspire to write or we know you dare to dream, light a candle and put on your headphones, because today, you're gonna hear why Woodson commands these hallowed halls of Black imagination.  Things We Mentioned:  https://scenicregional.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Mirrors-Windows-and-Sliding-Glass-Doors.pdf (“Mirrors, Windows, Sliding Glass Doors”) by Dr. Rudine Sims Bishop          “https://www.harpercollins.com/products/another-brooklyn-jacqueline-woodson?variant=32122035699746 (Another Brooklyn)” by Jacqueline Woodson  If you come softly by Jacqueline Woodson https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/299792/if-you-come-softly-by-jacqueline-woodson/ (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/299792/if-you-come-softly-by-jacqueline-woodson/) Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/97395/bird-by-bird-by-anne-lamott/ (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/97395/bird-by-bird-by-anne-lamott/) Natalie Diaz  https://www.nataliegermainediaz.com/ (https://www.nataliegermainediaz.com/) The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/190696/the-warmth-of-other-suns-by-isabel-wilkerson/ (https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/190696/the-warmth-of-other-suns-by-isabel-wilkerson/) Baldwin for the arts https://baldwinforthearts.org/ (https://baldwinforthearts.org/)  To learn more about Jacqueline: https://www.jacquelinewoodson.com/ (https://www.jacquelinewoodson.com/) Instagram https://instagram.com/jacqueline_woodson?utm_medium=copy_link (@jaqueline_woodson) Twitter https://twitter.com/jackiewoodson?s=21 (@jackiewoodson)
