I wrote about about self-care and community care for indie Scottish culture magazine The Skinny!

we're told that if we're super stressed then we just need to do more meditation (or yoga, or start a gratitude journal) and that will fix it for us, “as though there's any amount of meditation that’s going to make living under fascism bearable.”
