For solstice and as a celebration of STRENGTH this Litha, we spoke with Tanya and Skye of Earthbound Futures. Honestly it took me forever to edit because I kept writing down astonishing things they said. Here are a few:\n\nSomething I am learning from disability justice advocates is that there\u2019s no healing for me if there\u2019s not healing for the larger systems in the world... That\u2019s the queering of the hero\u2019s journey for me. I don\u2019t want to fight something. I want to get together with other people and creatively destroy the systems and the structures that are keeping the world inaccessible and keeping us sick and making us sick.\n...\nI feel like I\u2019m trying to get in touch with a body that society has tried to make me dissociate from in so many ways. Growing a beard at 11 was so confusing. It was such a big secret, a secret that I\u2019ve been holding on to, I was 32 when I started growing my beard and when I did that I feel like I unlocked all my queer ancestors. Be who you are. Smash that binary. I\u2019m a bearded woman, I embody both energies.About Missing Witches\n\nAmy Torok and Risa Dickens produce the Missing Witches Podcast.
