Hi Friends-

Happy Pride! Even though I live in upstate New York now, I still associate Pride with the last weekend of June, when the Dyke March and the NYC Pride Parade take place. The latter of which was canceled for the first time in 50 years in 2020. Fortunately, both are back in effect this year! 😷🏳️‍🌈✊

Below, you'll find links to a pride giving guide from Resist, a foundation that supports people's movements for justice and liberation; a reflection on what pride means from June of 2020, when we were in the depths of the pandemic; a thoughtful interview with Torrey Peters, the author of Detransition, Baby; and some sobering stats on the mental health of LGBTQ youth from the Trevor Project.

In other news: Tomorrow, Friday, June 25th is the last day to register for my new community project, Radiate. We're assembling an incredible group people to embark on nine months of personal and collective transformation, and I would love to have you join!

Yours in rainbows,
Jocelyn

LINK ABOUT IT

Why adults lose beginner's mind. Ezra Klein interviews psychologist Alison Gopnik about the difference between adult brains and baby brains, why one focuses on "exploiting" and one on "exploring," and more: "Just trying to do something that’s different from the things that you’ve done before can put you into a state that’s more childlike. There’s tradeoffs because, of course, we get to be good at doing things, and then we want to do the things that we’re good at. But setting up a new place, a new technique, a new relationship to the world, that’s something that seems to help to put you in this childlike state. And, to go back to the parenting point, socially putting people in a state where they feel as if they’ve got a lot of resources, and they’re not under immediate pressure to produce a particular outcome, that seems to be something that helps even adults to be in this more playful exploratory state."

The tiny white people in our heads. A thought-provoking essay from Brandon Taylor, author of the novel Real Life, on black subjectivity, real talk, and what true freedom of expression could look like: “People are largely far less curious about the lives of others than they pretend to be. And when confronted with information that extends beyond the narrowly prescribed set of datum we’re expected to share socially, casually, they abort the whole enterprise of communication. I sometimes feel that we don’t really talk to other people as much as to our unstable projection of what we would like those people to say to us in return.”

Is eco-guilt changing the way we travel? The short answer is NO. Even “climate conscious” people seem to give themselves a pass on tourism. Why? “There's an intrinsic desire amongst most people to explore our planet. There's this sense in modern society that somehow we will find a better existence, we'll find ourselves, we'll find something different or we'll find happiness by going on holiday. In a sense I think we've almost been conditioned to become tourists, to engage in tourism during the year at particular times, to the extent that I think a lot of people engage in tourism without actually considering why they're doing so.”

Towards a unified theory of Peloton. I love that Anne Helen Petersen has decided to do an in-depth series on the cultural appeal of Peloton: “While reality stars, influencers, and YouTubers float across our vision, passively consumed, often while multi-tasking, a Peloton instructor has your full attention. You’ve shown them your worst and best self. They’ve piloted you through frankly melodramatic episodes of athletic exertion. They might not know it, but that doesn’t mean you haven’t experienced it while staring directly at their faces. They’ve asked you questions and you’ve answered, even if they haven’t heard those answers. During the pandemic, I spent more time with Peloton instructors than anyone other than my partner.”

The Trevor Project survey of LGBTQ youth. This PRIDE month, the stark numbers in this recent Trevor Project survey show us how far we still have to go in terms of making LGBTQ youth feel accepted and free to express themselves: "42% of LGBTQ youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, including more than half of transgender & nonbinary youth."
