{The Body Liberation Guide} 🚑 I’m not a first responder

Hi friend,

I really admire people who can sit down immediately after an event and write thorough analyses of it, but I’m not one of them. 

Synthesis* is one of my superpowers, but for me it takes time to simmer and surface.

So I don’t have any long, thoughtful piece for you on Trump’s re-election last week. What I have for you is another aspect of synthesis (a collection of what other people quicker on the draw are saying), resources for caring for yourself and others, and these reminders:

For the love of everything don’t discuss abortion plans outside a secure app like Signal, or trust your period data to tracker apps.

• Fatphobia is rooted in anti-Blackness.
• Racism and transphobia are both bigotries partly centered in body disgust.
• Every born human deserves bodily autonomy.
• Every kind of oppression is a body liberation issue.
• Body liberation means fighting the systems that cause oppression.
• Consider moving your communications away from sites owned by Elon Musk (X/Twitter) or Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Threads).
