the pleasure is worth working for!! i gathered a few fun ideas to implement more pleasure and community in my day to day from
this! your take on 75 hard is sooo refreshing to see after all the hardcore versions i’ve seen across my screen. recently, i’ve really only been checking into social media like 3 times a day (once before work, during lunch, & at night)!! this has made more time to read & journal - activities i want to do more of! anyhoooo, cant wait to read future survival journal reflections 💌
Hi Asha, thanks for sharing this! I've already engaged a few people in my life around these helpful documents you linked for us -- led to some great discussion!
A few fun things I've taken up recently: weekly trivia at the local pub with my neighbors, creating crossword puzzles (harder than it seems, but very enjoyable!), engaging in The Artist's Way morning pages exercise. A few things I'm dipping my toes into: handwriting letters (specifically to folks who are incarcerated), birdwatching (I don't know how to identify really any of them yet, but it is so nice to go to the park with binoculars and nothing to do), going back to church (weird).
My political actions has flowed a lot easier since moving to a less car-centric place. It's easier to stay connected, organize, keep people safe. Previously most of my political action felt very public, now it has taken a more clandestine character. I feel really lucky that for the first time in my life, my political hub is really my neighborhood block.
I love this. The first list is probably my favourite as it really got my cogs whirring about how I can do this in my own life. I love the idea that you actively acknowledge things you enjoy and how to incorporate more of them!
reading this gave me a lot of hope, asha 💘 thank you for writing it !!! i also know @lucy is gonna freak out when they see you're reading pleasure activism!!!!
Thank you for reading, MB!!! Honestly this book deserves its own blog post! I have had such a mixed experience [listening] to it. I’ve had it for over a year and read about half of it. On one hand I’m like YEAH I’m with you and on the other I’m like, pack it up. ☠️ Lucy— drop a blog w yer opinions???

As Brown says in the intro of Pleasure Activism, “everything in moderation” 💗
