hello, 2500+ pals:
fellow queers + feminists.
open-hearted world-changer clients.
Welcome to the love letter I send when the spirit moves me.
Our 2024 theme is doing good - while living well.
- Not just thankless, grueling social change efforts.
- Not simply bonbons + books on a faux fur, sunny sofa.
BOTH.
Here's why: My advocacy is enhanced by (sustained by) rest. And, restoration feels so sweet when I'm tired from campaigning for change, from pushing the envelope, the edges, the effort.
I will be asking “How can we weave more delight into social-change moves?” ex. We can call our politicians in a rushed huff - or (might I suggest) at the start of a gorgeous nature walk, or from a lavender bath tub with sugar donuts on a doily. Conversely, I want to explore, "how do we embed liberatory ways into how we travel, spend, play, eat chocolate?…(i.e. how can we indulge - but not at the expense of other people's humanity, land, well-being?)
BOTH / AND
That is my vision: both pleasure + progressive social change. Mischief + money-making + moves against racism + misogyny. Healing + humanitarianism + hedonism.
Buckle up.
xoxo,
- Femily
