Things to say more often

New minizine “Things to say more often” – message me if you want one 💌
It’s basically about being aware of yourself, your privileges, needs and boundaries and trying to be aware of those of everyone else – just shortened and narrowed down to a few phrases because little room is in the nature of a minizine. This one is inspired by a list I made for myself with things I wanted to say more, I thought some things should be said more in general.

My list started when I decided I really wanted to change my reaction to men touching me or generally invading my space without my consent. Because as much as I hate this, I tend to just freeze or try to get out of this situation as quietly and politely as I can because this instinctly feels the safest to me. What I actually want to do is tell them of, slap them if necessary, just make it clear that what they are doing is not okay. And because I felt writing that down made the decision to change that more certain I did. And what’s better than planning your options before you are in that unpleasant situation, so I wrote down a few things I could say. And then I realised there where more things I would like to practice saying more, including asking others for their consent etc. And then it became enough to be a zine. What would you like to say more? Where do you think you still need practice in caring for yourself or respecting others?
I know I still have a lot of work to do.
