PREVIEW: “Becky Bullard: I'm Becky Bullard (she/her), the founder and CEO of Democrasexy, where we make it feel good to learn about power structures, and where best to apply pressure to try and change them, and also create joyful community, especially for women and queer folks in #Texas who want things to be different. My whole philosophy is that the type of change that we need to make here in Texas is gonna take a really long time. And so in order for those of us who've been doing the work to not burn out, and in order to attract new people, to have the volume of folks that we need to be creating change, it's got to feel good.”

I interviewed the founder of #Austin's "Democrasexy" about how we can keep political action playful, joyful, even sexy.

How do we keep joy alive during dark times? On election night last year, I attended Democrasexy's "Carnival of Care" party, which helped ease the pain with drag queens, educational speakers, even a petting zoo.

Soon after I caught up with the founder of Democrasexy for her perspective on making #politics playful, spiritual and even... sexy.

"Beyond Jesus’s physical appearance, when teaching young white boys and men about Jesus and also about the kind of masculinity Jesus evidences, we can lean into the actual Bible stories of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection. Jesus’s first appearance in the Bible is as a newborn baby, completely reliant on the care of those around him, vulnerable and inarguably needy."

"I have never seen an anti-feminist backlash quite like the one we are living through. The embrace of misogyny is thorough and unapologetic. It transcends just about every aspect of this administration, from the president down through his followers.

Oy Vey! I’m an example of the difficulties with this.
I was married a couple times & resumed my “maiden” name in the divorces, then married again. It’s not unusual.

I may be okay cuz I hold a “RealID” license (yellow star) & recently got a passport, both of which required extensive documentation on my part.

Getting these documents will swamp the states, unless a long lead time is allowed. 😱Gonna cost $$—poll tax on women?

Neither one had a searchlight, or one of those million-watt flashlights that run out of battery power after an hour or so.

They just had candles, small flames of golden glow that didn't command the attention of the surrounding countryside and beyond, but did provide enough light for their needs.

A small light, in the right place, illuminates.

Today on #WomensEpics: Juliana

A 9th century Anglo-Saxon retelling of the legend of St. Juliana of Nicomedia. While it is a Christian legend, the Saxon storyteller retold it in the style of Beowulf, changing and coloring the story to fit the taste of the audience for evil villains and epic fights. At the high point of the story, Juliana wrestles the Devil and physically beats him into submission.
