We return now with a deeper awareness: resting, healing, and rejoicing should not be luxuries, but practices of resistance and liberation. Rest is not separate from feminist work. It is what makes it sustainable.

Thank you for your patience and solidarity, we can’t wait to share what’s coming.🔥

10/10 We moved houses, started new jobs, spent time with family, cared for loved ones, shared meals with friends, soaked up the sun, tended to our mental health, and dealt with recent world events in various ways.

9/10 These realities remind us that rest is not disengagement, but the condition that allows us to keep showing up for justice in sustainable, radical ways.

And that’s what we’ve been doing these past months. While we stepped back from posting, our lives, resistance and activism continued.

8/10 Even as we rest, we cannot turn away from the struggles unfolding across the globe: the genocide in Palestine, the violence and exploitation in Congo, the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, and so many other places where people are fighting for their lives, their land, and their dignity.

7/10 During our time away from social media, we’ve been reflecting on how to hold together activism, care, and everyday life in a world that constantly demands more of us.

6/10 That’s why, in carrying our struggles forward, we insist on the importance of radical self-care and fight for it to become a collective right—accessible to all, not a privilege for the few.

5/10 For communities that are historically marginalized and oppressed, self-care is even more urgent: it is never just individual, but a way of recognizing ourselves in each other and building collective care. Today, for so many people, this is still a denied right.

4/10 In a world that increasingly drives us toward individualism and cynicism, rest and communal enjoyment are powerful tools of resistance and cultural preservation.

3/10 It means recovering our energy and finding resources to mobilize, while refusing the capitalist fallacy that reduces self-care to a spa day or an individual act of consumption.

It also means reconnecting with our peers, friends, family, and community.

2/10 In our way of doing activism, caring for ourselves is at the very foundation of our practice. For us, practicing self-care means listening to ourselves, recognizing our needs, taking time to rest and reconnect and, from there, create a reflective and sustainable activist practice.
