“Productivity should not look like exhaustion. The concept of laziness is a tool of the oppressor. A large part of your unraveling from capitalism will include becoming less attached to the idea of productivity and more committed to the idea of rest as a portal to just be.”
Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

Barbara Ehrenreich
“But suburbanization, probably more than any other single factor, hid the poor from view.”
Barbara Ehrenreich, Fear of Falling: The Inner Life of the Middle Class

“The Rest Is Resistance framework also does not believe in the toxic idea that we are resting to recharge and rejuvenate so we can be prepared to give more output to capitalism. What we have internalized as productivity has been informed by a capitalist, ableist, patriarchal system. Our drive and obsession to always be in a state of “productivity” leads us to the path of exhaustion, guilt, and shame. We falsely believe we are not doing enough and that we must always be guiding our lives toward more labor. The distinction that must be repeated as many times as necessary is this: We are not resting to be productive. We are resting simply because it is our divine right to do so.”
Tricia Hersey, Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto

Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious
“Tell me,
what is it you plan to do
with your one
wild and precious life?”
Mary Oliver

“Godhood is just like girlhood: a begging to be believed”
