My week in the life of Queering Systems Change

I share so that my work isn’t invisible. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Because it definitely feels that way sometimes. Taking more time & space to tend to the work (& my own heath & wellbeing) means less time & energy to keep up the algorithm. 🤷🏻

My week, THIS week, in the life of Queering Systems Change looked like 💥🌱👇🏻👇🏻

🍄‍🟫 Working directly with Forward Through Ferguson, and powerfully connecting as fellow bridge builders & weavers; carefully planning for generative conflict, placing power in the process & building in time to come back to foundational values.

🍄‍🟫 Initiating structure to build out & integrate a Rupture & Repair Council with a white ant!-rac!st solidarity & praxis group.

🍄‍🟫 Rooting out the failures in real time of other middle & upper class orgs teaching ant!-oppress!ve work that misses the mark in race, class & disability analysis (in order to not repeat their blind spots)

🍄‍🟫 Facilitating a HELLA good STL Queer Sangha on embodying clarity & grounding to meet infuriating delusion.

🍄‍🟫 Clearing shit off my plate - not taking on extra stuff, out planning out in advance for the rest of 2024 to give myself space; letting myself not tend to others messy thoughts & anxieties to leave room for time & paradox to do its thing without depleting my own reserves.

🍄‍🟫 Nose diving into the rabbit hole of research of other orgs & facilitators connecting somatics, post-colonial metamodern theory, collective governance & ecodharma (& giving myself space to realize I’m very well on the right path of it all with my own offerings, collabs & projects.

And if you’ve read my Substack, perhaps you could just give this post a ye ol’ ❤️👍🏻 because you choose to witness me (and want to help support that algorithm). 💜✌🏻
