@erinraii: Maturing is realizing that fun is essential for resiliency. It’s a key part of liberation. Imagination is essential for hope. Going out into your community is essential for building community. Play prevents burn out and is essential for relieving stress. It’s realizing that our ancestors survived horrific times through songs and dance and games. There’s a reason why resilient communities have rich music, dance and art traditions that have literally shaped our society. It’s what humans do. You are not above the need for fun. #community #communitybuilding #fun
Say it louder for the activists who think joy and radical optimism aren’t a part of activism 👏

The myth of capitalism turns everything into a "personal responsibility" issue. We feel guilty about fun, bc we've been taught we can escape poverty if we're just serious and hard-working enough.

Yes! And fun and connection regulates your nervous system, which allows you to think clearly and solve problems more easily! Obvi we all deserve it anyways. But it’s productive in so many ways!

on a personal level, joy and play saved my life. I grew up in a very scary and unsafe environment, and I got out and survived because I turned every moment I could into a game. I would have lost my-

Also fun is unpredictable. And fear is very predictable. Confuse the enemy.
