You can’t “self-care” your way out of oppression.

This week there will be an added focus on mental health and well-being. Suicide hotlines will be shared. Taking walks after meetings and stretching at your desk will be advised. Some will suggest regular movement — Lord knows I’m all for movement — and getting sunshine, however scarce, in our northern climate.
