A living collection of the resources, tools, media and spaces that have helped me along my breakup with harmful systems. Updated at the speed of my wellbeing.
<aside> ✨
Three years ago, I started breaking up with systems that were never ours. This is some of what I've found along the way.
Books that cracked things open. Podcasts that kept me company. Spaces that showed me what's already being built. Music that held my rage. Practices that brought me back to my body.
Not a curriculum. Just field notes from one person's ongoing liberation practice, organized so you can find what speaks to your season.

Each section maps to what I've come to see as the major areas of liberation work. They aren't exhaustive. They're what I've found so far and they'll grow as I do.
BODY & HEALING
Your inner world. Resources for reconnecting with your body, moving through grief and rage, decolonizing your relationship with health, food and rest. What's helped me come back to myself after a lifetime of being taught to leave.
CARE & KINSHIP
How we take care of each other outside of systems designed to isolate us. Mutual aid, chosen family, community care practices and models of interdependence that remind you this was never meant to be a solo journey.
EARTH & LAND
Our relationship with the planet and all beings. Community gardens, food sovereignty, land stewardship and the people reconnecting us with the living world we were taught to see as separate from ourselves.
EXCHANGE & ECONOMY
Alternatives to the ways we've been taught to earn, spend, share and value. Cooperative models, time banking, solidarity economy, gift culture and everything that helps us practice exchanging in ways that don't require someone else's exploitation.
GATHERING & PRACTICE
Where we actually come together. Skill shares, movement practices, learning circles, community spaces and the places that remind you what it feels like to be with people in ways that aren't transactional.
IDENTITY & BELONGING
Spaces centering specific experiences and intersections. Where you find community with people who share your particular journey and where solidarity across difference gets practiced, not just theorized.
KNOWLEDGE & CULTURE
Where you grow what you believe and how you see the world. Decolonizing knowledge, independent media, history that was hidden and the stories that help us imagine beyond what we've been told is possible.
ORGANIZING & ACTION
Moving together. Direct action, horizontal organizing, transformative justice, abolition and the skills and spaces that help us practice collective power without replicating the systems we're leaving behind.
SHELTER & HOME
Where and how we live. Community land trusts, intentional communities, housing cooperatives, tenant organizing and everything that challenges the idea that a roof over your head should be a commodity.
Everything in one place. Filter, sort and explore at your own pace.
