"Productivity should not look like exhaustion. The concept of laziness is a tool of the oppressor. A large part of your unraveling from capitalism will include becoming less attached to the idea of productivity and more committed to the idea of rest as a portal to just be."

PSA for newbies:

Please include ALT text on your images.

This is an inclusive space for blind and visually impaired people.

Don't arrive late to the party and ignore a bunch of people.

Also, please share this skeet, rather than liking it, to ensure the message gets delivered.

Thanks!

Kindness. Gentleness. Empathy.
These things are fires shining in the forest night.
They must be tended,
but in tending them we are illuminated.
We become a target for things that thrive in darkness.
So, as ever, love is risk.
And, as ever,
worth the danger.

"All of culture is collaborating for us not to rest. We are sleep-deprived because the systems view us as machines.

Rest, sleep, naps, daydreaming, and slowing down can help us wake up to see the truth. Rest is a portal to our deepest selves.
Rest is radical."

"We must rebel against becoming complacent, drained, hammered by life's demands and uninspired. Continue creating. Keep showing up for yourself and making art, new pathways, new connections, new, non-logical ideas, and fresh dreams. I see you."
