Heather Cox Richardson wisely took a night off, reminding us of life's crucial balance. Stepping back from the constant flow of information offers valuable political insight and personal renewal. Read her brief yet powerful message here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/july-19-2026 #HeatherCoxRichardson #DigitalDetox #RestIsResistance

Your reminder: rest is essential. It is part of resistance. A necessary break, so that we can then get up and carry on the fight.

Stillness and Rest

Spring is starting to stir in the Northern Hemisphere. As I gently emerge from a season of stillness and rest, I am called to reflect on how rest is a beautiful embodiment of the teachings of the Yoga Sutras.

Enjoy these free yoga practices that allow you to embrace stillness and rest.

280 Kilometer im Kopf. 212 auf den Füßen. Dazwischen: Achillessehne, Atemnot, Antibiotika-Nebenwirkungen.

Outdoor-Kultur erzählt gern von Durchhalten, von Grenzen überwinden, vom Geist, der den Körper führt. Aber was, wenn der Körper nicht folgt? Wenn die Sehne knarrt, die Hüfte ausweicht, der Wille kapituliert?

Wir schreiben viel über das Gehen. Aber selten darüber, dass wir manchmal nicht gehen und darüber, dass der Körper auch eine Geschichte trägt: Entzündung, Angst, Schmerz, Überforderung. Dass Autonomie auch heißt, nicht verfügbar sein zu dürfen.

Das Draußen ist längst kein neutraler Raum mehr. Erwartungen: an Selbstwirksamkeit, an Transformation. Wer geht, arbeitet an sich. Wer nicht geht, bleibt zurück.

Das Ferale ist nicht immer der Trail, sondern auch die Weigerung, den eigenen Körper verfügbar zu machen.

worthy advice from @PaulTShattuck (Stay Human - Shape Tomorrow) “People who can slow down, orient to values, and act deliberately under pressure are hard to manipulate.”
“In this context, recharge is not indulgence. Building skills of civic resilience — individually and collectively — is not fluff. It is the infrastructure of endurance.” #Resistance #RestIsResistance

“Many of the things we need to do to improve our focus are so obvious they’re banal: slow down, do one thing at a time, sleep more. Yet we race in the opposite direction—toward more speed, less sleep.” ~ #StolenFocus
Why is it so hard to give ourselves what we know we need?

You’re not imagining it—life is more overwhelming than it used to be.

Thirty years ago, we weren’t expected to be on 24/7.
Now, everything—news, work, education, friendship—flows through endless digital networks.

We scroll, refresh, reply, react.
There’s no pause. No buffer. No off-switch.

This is the Network Society.
Power no longer moves top-down—it moves through likes, clicks, and notifications.
Your attention is the commodity. Your nervous system is the casualty.

We weren’t built for this.
We evolved for rhythm, rest, and relationship—not for a life spent staring into the infinite scroll.

If you’re feeling scattered, anxious, or emotionally fried—you’re not broken.
You’re living in a system that rewards saturation over sanity.

Maybe the first step is naming it.
This isn’t just burnout. It’s digital trauma.

I'm also making my way through #RestisResistance by #TriciaHersey and would love to find fellow readers to discuss it!

I've seen it written that rest is not resistance. But here is why I believe it is. They want us worn down, spent all to hell, out of energy. Resting, within reason, is part of how we keep ourselves strong enough to do the active resisting. If we push ourselves until there's nothing left, they've won through atrophy. So yes, rest is a *part* of healthy resistance. No, it is not a visible thing, but it is critical to the success of any other action.

rest is a human right, productivity is morally neutral and your purpose is not tied to an employer

In turbulent times, remember: You don’t have to react to everything.

Oppression thrives on exhaustion—don’t let it steal your peace. Rest, set boundaries, and center your community. Resistance isn’t just fighting back; it’s surviving, healing, and building something better.

Stay grounded. You belong here. 💙 #TwoSpirit #Neurodiversity #TransRights #RestIsResistance

In a sign of the times, I opened Libby to realize 18 people were waiting for the copy of #restisresistance I borrowed, which was a good impetus to finally read the last chapter. A hopeful read, and some excellent thoughts and advice, although I don't connect with some of the more spiritual aspects she discusses.

Very good list of questions from writer Sarah Gailey. A sample:

"Do I have everything I need? Do I need everything I have?

Have I eaten? Have we eaten? Have they eaten?
Who needs to sleep? Who needs to cry? Who needs to rest and heal?
Am I ready? Are we ready? Are they ready?"

Hieno juttu Tricia Herseyn kirjasta Rest is Resistance.

Lepoa ei tarvitse ansaita. Lepo ei voi tapahtua työn ehdoilla pieninä pakollisina taukoina. Ei käy, että lepäämme vain sen minimin joka pitää meidät vaaksan mitan päässä burnoutista (jossa viisas keho ottaa ohjat ja ilmoittaa, että lepään vaikka ilman sinua, sinä kajahtanut aave koneessani).

https://voima.fi/artikkeli/2024/lepo-vastarinnan-muotona-lepaaminen-ei-ole-etuoikeus-vaan-ihmisoikeus/

Menen itse nyt lepäämään ja toivottavasti nukkumaan. Good night fedi!

I'm so thankful that I just get a quiet day today.

I'm salt sweeping the kitchen and living room, putting on washing, cleaning up the kitchen (it's a nightmare after my housemate working from home the last two days), and playing some games.

Hopefully I'll finally make time to read Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto, the introduction to which encouraged us readers to not try to multitask (with the audiobook) so, following that guidance, I haven't found time to get into it yet! I know it will be transformational when I do: https://thenapministry.com/

I have to work today <sigh> but for #SelfCare I'm taking the morning off to cook breakfast, drink coffee, and read the Sunday paper. What are you doing to #BeKindToYourself today?

#RestIsResistance

Before every school break, I plan out how I’m going to:
1. Catch up on everything at school
2. Plan ahead for everything else at school
3. Catch up on chores and other household tasks
4. Get my life together (go to the gym regularly, meditate every day, get back into journaling, etc.)
At the end of every school break, I realize that I have:
1. Napped a lot
2. Read a lot
3. Done the bare minimum of work stay on track for returning to the classroom
I regret nothing. 😎
