1372 || essential self care
from Make Your Damn Bed
“I had to examine, in my dreams as well as in my immune-function tests, the devastating effects of overextension. Overextending myself is not stretching myself. I had to accept how difficult it is to monitor the difference. Necessary for me as cutting down on sugar. Crucial. Physically. Psychically. Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lord TODAY'S RESOURCES: The article: https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2021/05/10493153/reclaiming-self-care-audre-lorde-black-women-community-care Read Audre Lord's A Burst Of Light: https://eddierockerz.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/a-burst-of-light-and-other-essays-pdfdrive-.pdf Buy Audre Lord's A Burst Of Light: https://www.akpress.org/catalog/product/view/id/3259/s/aburstoflight/category/6/ Resistance Resources: Choose Democracy "what can I do?": https://choosedemocracy.us/what-can-i-do/ Find Local protests + actions: https://www.buildtheresistance.org/actions More action resources: https://www.buildtheresistance.org/actions Donate: Donate to Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund::www.pcrf.net Donate to Mutual Aid Funds: https://www.folxhealth.com/library/mutual-aid-funds GET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.com TUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcast OR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcast OR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.
