Stop thinking about relaxation as a guilty indulgence, and start thinking about it as an essential component of your physical and mental routine. Whether it's taking rest days from working out (which are essential for your muscles to repair and regrow), or unwinding with a videogame or TV on the sofa after a period of work (which is essential for you to unwind and process through stress), you deserve, and are not just allowed, but ENCOURAGED, to relax. If you need permission, you have mine. GO.

“Not so much the abolition of prisons but the abolition of a society that could have prisons, that could have slavery, that could have the wage, and therefore not abolition as the elimination of anything but abolition as the founding of a new society.”

— Fred Moten and Stefano Harney, “The University and the Undercommons: Seven Theses”

The Universe is fantastically intricate, breathtakingly beautiful, and unimaginably vast. Beauty and wonder are all around us. Try not to let yourself lose sight of that.

"I'm an artist. Gardening is my graffiti. I grow my art. I use the garden soil like it's a piece of cloth, and the plants and the trees, that's my embellishment for that cloth. You'd be surprised what the soil can do if you let it be your canvas."
– Ron Finley, guerilla gardener

#UrbanGreen

So, my co-op's fundraising campaign is up!

If you would like to help support a member owned and run, independent, fair trade, sustainable and low/zero waste produce and grocery co-op, please chip a little bit of money in:

Will happily set up a new Linux based service, fix a Geary bug, or boost your toot as a custom perk for you, by prior negotiation of course. ;)

Cooperation Jackson: Building a Social and Solidarity Economy

"In Jackson, Mississippi, Cooperation Jackson are building a solidarity economy, anchored by a network of cooperatives and worker-owned, democratically self-managed enterprises. This visionary project not only continues the historic Afro-American struggle for land, but shows how we can all make a just transition to a zero carbon, zero waste economy ourselves."
