No one but me (according to a search on the hashtag) is tagging #SomaticAbolition but I’m sure others are Interested in it. Are there other tags you’ve seen related to #embodied #somatic practices growing in an #abolition framework?
It’s all new to me. I feel called to this work, this way of living, as one of the only ways I’ll be able to develop the skills of imagination required to break free from racialized capitalism.
I was under the impression that The Nap Bishop's work was for Black people, so I stayed away. I swear I saw that in her (Tricia Hersey's) twitter feed? But I heard her on a podcast saying it's for everyone, so I'm diving in! Here's her linktree with all the links: https://linktr.ee/thenapministry
Living with #ChronicPain and with #PTSD, I'm working with my therapist and friends in this new practice of #rest. And now I'm involving #mastodon! :-)
I made this t-shirt when I thought my favorite podcast (Maintenance Phase https://www.maintenancephase.com/) accepted offerings in their store. https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/34430323-im-fat-and-im-not-trying-to-lose-weight
It’s not beautiful, but the message is a source of strength for me.
A lot of my posts are about how I *feel* about stuff. I'm getting deep into #SomaticAbolition and that involves lots of practice staying in my body and lots of noticing.
It might seem like I think "how I feel" is super important. It is, for me, but it's not something I think needs to be on other people's radar. I post about it to vent and also because I hope it might invite other people (especially white people like me) think about their own sensations.
this "staying present in my body" stuff is still so freaking exhausting. who knew (I didn't!) life was so full of feelings??? nearly overwhelmingly joyful and nearly unbearably horrible!
