For those of you who have trouble getting up early as is demanded by capitalist societies, including school kids:

“Up to 30 percent of humans are hardwired night owls. Melatonin doesn’t accumulate in our brains until much later, sometimes as late as 2 or 3 am. There’s an evolutionary reason for it. Back in the Paleolithic days, humanity needed certain people to stay up at night and guard the tribe.”

Time for some rest. You deserve it. Not because of how hard you worked. Not because of what you accomplished. Not because of your excellence. Because you're you. Because you're human. #rest #restisresistance #timeoff #weekend #vacation

discovering the #restIsResistance ht. Good one. #grindCulture too.

Everything we see on Earth today, all the systems that we're living under, were created by some1. They didn't exist until people sat down & imagined a way 2 make sense of their world. In the case of white supremacy & capitalism, those who created & experimented w/ these violent systems found a way 2 hold firm 2 the toxic belief of profit over people. They found sinister ways 2 subjugate & commodify human beings in a way that would lead 2 their power & wealth. Tricia Hersey #restisresistance

I wish you rest today. I wish you a deep knowing that exhaustion is not a normal way of living. You are enough. You can rest. You must resist anything that doesn't center your divinity as a human being. You are worthy of care. Tricia Hersey #RestIsResistance

I think a lot of people think daylight savings time will give them more time to enjoy themselves at the end of the day and reverse the stresses of work, etc. Really we just need to rest, to do nothing to get in touch with our own body's rhythm and the rhythms of nature.
Tweeking our clocks is a capitalist response to the fact we are over producing and over consuming and we just don't have time to live. Living is equated with doing or purchasing. That's wrong. Many are stressed out and end up harming themselves or others.
I like the Islamic idea of our time being set by the position of the sun at the particular location on Earth. That idea humbles us under creation. Modern humans need to slow down and let the world go 'round. We are not Atlas that we have to carry the world on our shoulders.

Capitalism's end game is to exploit us from cradle to grave #CapitalismIsEvil #RestIsResistance

#SelfCare today looks like getting off work *on time* and granting myself the Monday holiday off into the bargain.

It's tempting to pretend I'm out and use that time to catch up on grading but I will not. I am tired, and I already have so many hours 'in the bank' that if I don't start reclaiming them I'll lose them.

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?

#SelfCare today at the Tarheel's house meant breaking for a #nap after lunch, stopping work to #meditate before dinner. What did you do today to #BeKindToYourself?

#RestIsResistance

@LowlyAdjunct being kind to myself is forgiving myself for sleeping in late.
Very easy to be mean to myself, but I’m rejecting that. Very needed reprieve.

Thanks for the reminder that #RestIsResistance

I have to work this weekend, which I'm not happy about. #SelfCare today means red lentil soup and Naan with ghee for lunch, and stopping to #meditate at 5 no matter what. Snatching those bits of #rest where I can, like reading Leviathan Wakes while I eat.

"We don't have to know everything.
We don't have to be everything.
We don't have to do everything.
There is space for the #unknown.
There is space for #curiosity and #mystery."

No better book to set the mood for the new year and days ahead.

Resolve to rest. Resolve to daydream and imagine and nap. Resolve to understand, to truly understand, that you are already and always enough.

There’s so much going on inside and outside. Thus, what a great day to stay in bed.

#SelfCare today looks like stopping work for the year when I fulfilled my contract hours. There's more to do to get ready for next term and I am anxious about it but. That's not a #NowProblem. It's a #LaterProblem and I'll deal with it next year 😆

I'm steadfast about #ReclaimingMyTime.
