Happy Monday! RFM and a check-in?

[pipisafoat]

Hello, all! It's been a while since anyone has been active here, which is totally understandable - we're all low on spoons, right?

I'm not currently able to do the individual posts breaking down each action item, but here is Radio Free Monday on copperbadge's dreamwidth with ways to give, news to know, and recurring needs.

If you're still hanging around here, I'd like to have an informal check-in to see what sort of activism you've been engaging in and what plans you have going forward. I'll start us off in the comments. My intention with this is just to let everyone check in with themselves and take inspiration/ideas from each other. You certainly don't have to share, and there's absolutely no shaming! Remember: self-care is an act of political warfare.

I've been mostly focused on internal activism recently, which for me means learning and self-care in equal measure. I've been learning a lot recently from the Race-Class Academy [link to their home page], and I have a (local but virtual) training tomorrow evening: "An intro to writing strategic anti-racist messages for social media, letters to editors, school board meetings, etc. - Resources to build your skills at home"

I've also been becoming more involved with The Plural Association [link to their about page] in community, volunteering, donating, and learning. This past weekend was the Plural Positivity World Conference 2022, and we had the opportunity to attend many very valuable sessions and get to know a bunch of other great systems, forming new friendships and working relationships. If you're interested, you can find most if not all of the sessions here [link to the pluralevents youtube page].

Finally, I've been doing a lot of work with my therapist on showing up for myself so that I'm more able to show up for others.
