In this episode of LaidOPEN Podcast, I have an insightful conversation with activist and author Dean Spade about his extensive work in movements for queer and trans liberation, anti-militarism, and the abolition of police and prisons.
Dean and I discuss his new book titled ‘Love in a Fucked Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell Together,’ covering topics such as mindful practices for managing stress, the evolution of his book over nine years, and personal growth in relationships.
We also delve into the romance myth, decentralizing romantic relationships, and the importance of community support. Dean shares valuable insights and practices for generating internal safety and the importance of collective care in social movements.
This episode is an enriching dialogue aimed at anyone interested in social justice, personal growth, and transformative community practices.
