“A Really Good Fart Joke" | Finding Joy in Hard Times

Feeling paralyzed by everything happening right now? You're not alone. This week, listener Shalome writes in about struggling to find joy when their identity feels under constant attack. Stephanie and Melissa discuss why joy is a form of resistance, not a distraction, do a "joy banking" exercise together (join us!), dig into historical examples of communities using celebration to survive oppression and share practical ways to take action without doom-scrolling yourself into oblivion. From calling senators to showing up in community to watching a guy play drums outside an ICE hotel at 11pm as furries dance in the street, there are so many ways to resist AND fill your cup. Also, f*ck ICE. Okay, Byyyyyyye!
