Hedwig is the observant owl perched above a humanitarian’s path through shifting strategies, policy absurdities, and the quieter truths of fieldwork practice. This blog is her ledger — a space where stories, satire, and subtle resistance take flight. It peels back the polished language of systems, the half-truths of internal politics, and the rituals of alignment that hide more than they reveal. Part witness, part herbal remedy, part escape hatch: it holds what reports won’t say and workshops can’t reach. Read carefully. In a world of dashboards and declarations, Hedwig sees what others choose not to — and remembers what they forget.
