Hope you find someone with some genuine mutual feelings fam
This good karma needs to be passed
I hope you get that job you need
I hope some money comes your way.
I hope that stress you have goes away

I hope you find the healing that you seek
I hope you forgive yourself for your past
I hope you find peace within yourself
I hope your skin is clear and your hair is growing.
I hope and pray you find the happiness you deserve
we´re walking into a dictatorship here in Brazil and I have been reading your resist tag. do you have any specific recs about guerrila tactics & self-care for groups of activists? x @primaveraetal
It makes the most sense to look into local organizing and grassroots movements in your immediate community; they’ll have specific tactics, timetables, locations et cetera they can share with you. You can probably find local connections through ItsGoingDown. In times of political unrest you can be sure to find political base centers like, for example, my local one, The Base, who host self defense and tactic workshops, and Flux Factory holds self-care workshops for healing specifically for Queer and TPOC. Crawl through antifa network for local orgs.
Some readings to look into (should be easy to find online if you look):
Read bell hooks ACTUAL works on the origins of self care, read june jordan, audre lorde’s uses of the erotic, read other black women on political practice and the cost of bodies: i really love reina gossett too.
Obviously also if you’re going to be participating in activism of any kind you absolutely must get up to speed on your online & general security and anti-surveillance practice (which I mentioned in my piece on protest prep for Racked). Do not organize on an unsecure connection - use Signal, Tor, et cetera. You can go through my resist tag for pointers and also The Glass Room’s resource page, something put together by Tactical Tech.
Hope that helps! I do not identify as an activist™ just someone that does it, and observes and learns the history of it….so! Anyone can and should feel free to add to this, these are just what pops up immediately in my head.
