For anyone wanting to dance it out with others without the club scene. Look up “ecstatic dance” or “freeform dance” in your area for sober, all-you-need-is-love vibe dance events.
@dreamscroll showed me a screenshot of this post when we were planning a radio show and then the #ShakeAssAgenda became the theme of said radio show. Hope you like it.
this is SO GOOD! I have been thinking a lot lately about how quick people are to give up, and without sounding like a total bitch, it just comes off a bit cowardly. like this isn't just affecting you, it's all of us, and yes it is scary but so is staying the same and letting them win. I think a lot too about communities who traditionally face more adversity, how to them this is just another day. I think we all need to be a lot more like that. I think we all need to be a lot kinder to ourselves.
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful response! I agree! I think often the people quickest “to give up” haven't been involved in sustained action, and it shows in the frail / individualistic reactions to ongoing terrors. Finding ways to build collective power requires some grit AND also good ol ass shaking for release
'I feel the ice spikes of “what can you do” forming a tundra' too. Systemic change is needed and the only way it happens is if we do the Revolution. For a while now, I've been dreaming of a new social media that's all about peaceful revolution. It's a radical dream, but it just might be exactly what we need to kick off the Revolution. I hope you will check it out. Here's my dream: www.humbledeeds.com
MY DISCO LIGHTS ARE CUED UP AND I'M READY TO RAGE SING, BABY! Thank you for making me bust all caps and mean it. Even if it doesn't fix the sadness and fear, it means they didn't steal all our joy, so they are still losing.

Although it is definitely very possible to cry in the transcendental embodiment dance space so, you know, choose your venue accordingly 😉
Ooh yes, you can definitely boogie down at an ecstatic dance event!
I LOVE THIS! Went dancing just last weekend and it really does help - no one can be sad while shaking ass!
Thank you! Ass shaking really does shake the sad out!
Who is this QUEEN?? Subscribed immediately! *shakes ass*

Intentional ass-shaking is my new meditation
This is an excellent meditation 🙏
I resonated with this read heavily. Don’t let anyone steal your joy! May it inspire others to rediscover theirs💃
I’m so glad you resonate! And completely agree about not letting our joy get stolen!
I love this, Bronwyn.
Thank you so much Fusun, this means a lot!
Shake that booty 👏
Exactly, we gotta!
Oh I know that’s right!!!
It's time to get low!
2025 IS FOR SHAKING ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YES INDEED!
