If that isn't a parable of human-blaming production machinery....

"In the spirit of Audre Lorde who said, `Revolution is not a one-time event,' we intentionally don't participate in social media challenges around naps, or in trendy one-off events that don't include intensive education centering Black liberation and history. We must lift the meticulous depths of what decolonizing and deprogramming truly looks like. The Rest is Resistance framework also does not believe in the toxic idea that we are resting to recharge and rejuvenate so we can be prepared to give more output to capitalism. What we have internalized as productivity hs been informed by a capitalism, ableist, patriarchal system. Our drive and obsession to be always in a state of `productivity' leads us to the path of exhaustion, guilt, and shame. We falsely believe we are not doing enough and that we must always be guiding our lives toward more labor. The distinction that must be repeated as many times as necessary is this: We are not resting to be productive. We are resting simply because it is our divine right to do so. That is it! Rest in this proclamation for a moment."
