    Rest as Rhythm, Rest as Resistance

    This is a special episode we recorded on a summer podcast retreat on Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) territory, Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast. While resting ourselves, we explore how we can embody rest as a radical and reciprocal practice. We discuss rest as a form of resistance to capitalism and white supremacy, essential to community care and advocating for systemic change, and our own understanding and experiences of rest as a rhythm of life—whether it be napping, building boundaries, connecting to the land, and sacred attentiveness. As we touch on lessons from Black feminism and Jewish shabbat, precursor to the Christian sabbath, we ask: who has access to rest? What would rest redistribution look like? How can rhythms of rest lead us into broader and transformative changes? We hope you will be challenged and inspired by this conversation to practice a rhythm of rest in your own life and community. A huge THANK YOU to our Patreon supporters for making this retreat possible for us! Episode Notes & Annotations: When speaking about rest as resistance, Trixie references The Nap Ministry by artist, writer, and activist Tricia Hersey Maria mentions radical birth workers who rejuvenate themselves so they can care for others Céline references Jewish shabbat as a rhythm of rest, culminating in Jubilee, a theme explored in Geez issue 63, Sound The Trumpet Céline references Adrienne Maree Brown on pleasure activism and rest as a joyful and life-giving act We refer back to reconnecting with the land in our earlier episode in Season 1, Relating to the Land, with Lori Snyder  Currently, we do not have the capacity for releasing updated transcripts per episode. We plan to update Season 2 episodes with transcripts as soon as we're able.

    Me, You, and Media Representation

    In this episode, Céline, Maria and Trixie talk about the importance of representation, the pervasiveness of whiteness in books and stories we read growing up, and the powerful recognition that comes with seeing ourselves in the media. We takedown some tropes and discuss the emergence of Asian experiences and storytelling, including Turning Red, Never Have I Ever, and Scarborough (no spoilers!).

    Get Behind Me, White Feminism

    In this fiery episode, which builds off our Gender Troublemaking episode, Maria, Céline, and Trixie have a candid conversation about white feminism 101. What is white feminism, how does it show up in everyday interactions and norms as well as society and culture more broadly? How have we experienced and witnessed the harm done by white feminism, historically, and today? In this salty, laughter-filled discussion, we cover the history of white feminism as in league with white supremacy, pop culture examples, and TERFism as a form of white feminism. Content note: In this episode, we mention slavery, sexual violence and lynching. These topics are not covered in depth or detail. As always, do what you gotta do to take care of yourself and skip this episode if that’s what you need. Technical note: We had some sound issues with this episode, so you might notice some weird blips, background noise, and static. Thanks for the patience as we do our best to address this moving forward. Notes & Annotations: Maria references a previously-mentioned book, White Tears/Brown Scars by Ruby Hamad Jane Campion’s Comment About Venus and Serena Williams Is a Perfect Example of White Feminism (Teen Vogue)  White Women Ain’t Fragile (Nor is White Supremacy) by Rachel Ricketts:  Detailed Youtuber response to JK Rowling’s Essay  Céline and Maria mention one of their favourite podcasts, Witch Please, a feminist Harry Potter podcast. Their latest episode on Rape Culture ties in well with this episode if you want to learn more, through the lens of Harry Potter!

    Gender Troublemaking

    In this episode, Maria, Céline, and Trixie talk Gender 101: what is gender, what does it mean to us, and how can we be gender troublemakers no matter what our relationship to gender is? In this informal and playful conversation, we cover a range of topics related to gender: basic terminology, gender as a social construct, the gender binary and how it relates to capitalism and colonialism, troubling gender, and the significance (and practice) of using pronouns. We touch on feminism and gender, heteronormativity in the church, and showing up for trans siblings and trans women. Also, Maria comes out as nonbinary! They use they/them pronouns now. Content notes: The first part of the episode is mostly Gender 101 and our own experience and commentary. Around the 38 minute mark, we talk about violence against trans women. Around 45 minutes, we talk about colonialism and genocide when we discuss where the gender binary comes from.

    Decolonizing Academia (With Josema Zamorano)

    In this episode, Maria, Céline and Trixie speak with educator Josema Zamorano about the academic project being entrenched in colonialism and white supremacy, and decolonial alternatives to learning—including radical pedagogy and public education. We talk about embodied learning, blurring Western academic categories, and the role of art & creativity in being-as-knowing. We’re all learners, so even if you’re not in an academic context, we hope you take away something from our conversation. Transcript coming soon!

  6. Can We Talk About Consent?

    2021. 11. 09.

    Can We Talk About Consent?

    In this exploratory conversation about consent, Céline, Maria and Trixie discuss how consent connects with bodily autonomy, especially in our interactions with one another, and how the lack of consent (societal as well as interpersonal) leads to distrust and disconnection from our bodies. We talk about teaching and modelling consent with kids, choice, communication, and unpack the problematic use of “consent” by anti-vaxxers and the right. Parents and folks with littles in your life, we’d love to hear from you on how you teach and model consent with kids! Leave us a voice message on Anchor.fm/resettingthetable, we hope to feature some of these tidbits in a future episode. Note: After having this conversation, Céline came across some reading about the white supremacist ideology of “Freemen-on-the-land,” which employs rhetoric around the lack of “consent” as a form of pseudolegal language. While this context wasn’t incorporated into our episode, it’s helpful supplementary information to keep in mind as we question the use of consent by anti-vaxxers and the right, more generally. Transcript coming soon.

    On Music

    Welcome to Season 2 of Resetting The Table! In our first episode, Trixie, Maria and Céline nerd out on music: who we’re listening to, how we can be intentional in our music choices, and paying attention to the songs and messages that musical artists are putting out in the world. We talk about conscious consumption, representation and subjectivity in music, and explore how music can de-centre whiteness and build political consciousness. In our journey to a liberatory faith practice, we also unpack (and rant about) Christian worship music and how it is entwined in bad theology and white evangelicalism. Transcript coming soon. And stay tuned for a fun accompanying playlist in the works.
