{The Body Liberation Guide} But you run a business….

Hi friend,

The website is back up, and should be faster! There were a few different issues I spent part of the week fixing, but it has a nice new look and speed now. It’s not perfect**, but for a one-person business, I’m so proud of it.

Now to this week’s letter:

In last week’s letter, I talked about how as a community, we treat our activists as disposable. One of the reasons I asked not to receive feedback about that piece was that I wasn’t done (but also didn’t want to send you a 5,000-word essay in one email).

In that letter, I intentionally elided activism and business, because after all, how different are activism and business when you think about them as exchanges of energy?

If I run a business, you give me a resource (usually money) in exchange for a good or service.

If I’m an activist, I’m creating change — a service — and the resources to do that have to come from somewhere.

Bear with me here.
