Episode 1: Self-Care as a Political Act: Conversations on Resilience and ActivismLiminal Writing Season 4 begins with a session inspired by a quote from American activist and poet, Audre Lorde: 'Caring for myself is not self indulgence. It is self preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.'This prompt leads to a discussion on the challenges of self-care, the impact of recent political events in the US, how affects the LGBT communities, and in particular the impact on trans folks. Ces and Lee also reminisce about their community activism in the Philippines, and sing a few lines from a couple of protest songs from their youth. Their conversation ends with unwavering eyes on hope, the power of unity, song, and resilience in the fight for equality and justice.00:53 Reflecting on Self-Care01:23 Struggles and Resolutions02:39 Political Context and Personal Impact03:38 Trans Rights and Political Climate07:42 Hope and Resilience08:27 Global Struggles and Solidarity10:03 Songs of Protest and Unity14:13 Nature's Lessons on Support15:40 Conclusion and Final Thoughts
