New post is up. If you’re carrying something heavy, you’re not alone. If you’re healing, that’s resistance. #Healing #Wellness #Decolonize open.substack.com/pub/thomastije…

Capitalism teaches us that happiness grows with more. The body knows it grows through rhythm, rest, and relationship. This piece is about enough and what becomes possible when we stop trying to buy our way to wellness. open.substack.com/pub/thomastije…

In the process of condensing my manuscript. Meanwhile I am heading back to Youtube to release content from my original manuscript, one short video at a time. Take a look if healing and liberation under empire interests you. youtube.com/shorts/PBaWOyM…
