«feeling worn down: I think feminist killjoys are familiar with this feeling, that sense of coming up against the same thing, over and over again. (…) audre lorde taught us that caring for one self can be «an act of political warfare» as a form of self-preservation… the relations we develop to restore, to replete, are world making. With each other we find ways of becoming re-energised in the face of the ongoing reality of what causes our sense of depletion. we can recognize each other, find each other, create spaces of relief, spaces that might be breathing spaces, spaces in which we can be inventive.»
sara ahmed, «feeling depleted?».
