Aaron Goggans and I talk about what happens when movements start running on empty—how trauma, burnout, and dysregulation can shape our organizing, and what it takes to sustain ourselves and each other in a moment of crisis and emergency. I found this conversation so helpful, and I hope you will too.
Burnout Is Not Inevitable: Building Movements That Can Hold Us
“Care really should be at the center of our strategy, of our analysis, and of our practice,” says Aaron Goggans.

Don't cross the picket line y'all.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I continue to appreciate @courtneymilan.com’s weekly tea newsletter, even as someone who does not drink much tea and certainly does not drink fancy tea. It’s a good read for people trying to do good in times of stress and hardship. (And also really good tea advice.)

This movie is beautiful and Dash is an amazing director.
If I was unclear as to what the movie is, it's called Daughters of the Dust (1991).
You can rent and/or buy it on Amazon Prime, DVD, or Apple TV
And you really should
Happy birthday to Julie Dash 🙏🏾
(the book is a sequel)

We never had to capitulate to Covid.
If we had taken collective steps to protect one another, we would have been able to drastically reduce transmission.
I will never understand why so many people were willing to subject themselves to repeat infections when there was (and is) another path

“we’re all gonna get it” is every bit as defeatist and doomerist as “we can’t do anything about climate change”. why do so many who are so fervent about protecting the environment refuse to acknowledge this? is our collective health not equally important?
“Well everyone else was doing it too” is never a worthy excuse. Just because practically no one masks or keeps up with the alarming science on COVID doesn’t exempt everyone from responsibility.
#MaskUp and protect yourself and others. In the future, you’ll be glad you did.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.
So much work remains to be done.

These can help alleviate pain for some of us, but none of them fix anything, other than being more able to function.

Despite every doctor's suggestions, yoga, hot baths, and relaxing aren't going to solve chronic pain. Epson salts won't fix scoliosis, my hips being out of alignment, or my osteoarthritis. Advil and tylenol don't fix it either, but at least they let me go to work, sleep, and eat.
