i can never say enough how when i look for movement elders, the people i see still doing the work are the people who made space for music, art, relationships, and joy
people think it is cliche, but you really cannot pour from an empty cup. and that doesn’t mean you take a bubble bath every week.
oldhead advice from an oldhead.
every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"
and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work
gotta build for long term
