The Grounded Futures Show, Ep 21: Sparks In-Between, with Shuli Branson*

“thinking alone is not as exciting as thinking together”

Shuli Branson, a Jewish transfemme anarchist writer, and artist, joined carla and Uli for an inspiring virtual walk to think (and feel) together. They go deep into Trans worlding and talk pathways to gender abolition, discovering voice, embracing not knowing, sampling ideas, learning through play and making mistakes, practical anarchism, and more! This joyful conversation covers a lot of ground, including a poetry reading!

*when we recorded this epsidoe, Shuli went by Scott.
