Your cart is empty now.
A traitorous, bigoted Cheeto 🟠 is running for president AGAIN, and uterus-wielding people no longer have a constitutional right to bodily autonomy according to a court with a clear religious agenda. ⛪️
But you can’t give up…life still has to be lived.
🥷 Therefore, we need to fight the good fight. 🥷
But how?
Enjoy your life. LOVE it. All of it.
Also, empathy.
Don’t let the hellscape described in the news steal your joy or your empathy.
🧘♀️ It’s true—your self-care can’t make up for the systematic oppression that is white supremacist patriarchy coupled with late-stage capitalism BUT you also can’t create systematic change if you’re hopeless.
So you need:
💖 Joy
🤲 Empathy
🌳 Hope
May I suggest reading fiction. 📚 My feminist action series to be more specific. ✊
𝗦𝘆𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗥𝘆𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝗴𝘂𝘆𝘀 𝗱𝗼. And it feels GOOD. Like REALLY good. Kneeing the traitorous grapist in the groin good, but without the legal repercussions.
Feeling good is the BEST form of rebellion, in my opinion. The powers that be want you to feel like 💩. You feeling 😨 is the best way to keep you trapped in the I need more, more, more to be more, more, more mentality destroying our planet and humanity.
So escape the trap. Read a 📖.
