Emergent Strategy👍 Recommends
…discussing best advice received in book on pleasure activism and justice work
“I'm going to cheat slightly if you'll allow it I read Emergent Strategy by Adrienne Marie Brown it was given to me as a gift by my friend Anne Marie for my 30th birthday and I I really believed that if I worked hard enough and if I was kind of saintly enough that someone would see my good deeds and all of my hard work and give me the sticker give me the star so a kind of martyrdom was part of my sort of I understood was important in my and I think reading her book and reading about pleasure activism which is sort of the idea that like anything that you need that you want to sustain e.g. justice e.g. you need it to be easy and you need it to be pleasurable in a way because that's what's going to mean that you'll be able to do it for a long time part of my burnout was that I wasn't prioritizing pleasure and joy as kind of like underpinning for even some of the harder more somber cerebral things that I was doing and I think that changed my life.”

Loving Corrections👍 Recommends
…referencing Adrienne Marie Brown's recent book on accountability and grace
“Adrienne Marie Brown, I don't know if you've ever had, she wrote an amazing book, which is one of her more recent ones, which is called Loving Corrections. And she speaks to kind of exactly this, which is there's kind of this like ire that we see online when people don't attribute something perfectly to someone else or they're missing something.”
