Our Discord server is officially open to the public! 🌍🪷[globe emoji, lotus emoji]

Join a GLOBAL, Black-, queer-, woman-, disabled-, AND youth-run community rooted in radical learning, accountability, and care. This is a space where you can ask big questions openly (so long as you're willing to grow), read alongside us, organize locally, play games, build friendships, and, yes, sometimes stay up until 4 a.m. just yapping about life :)

Here at EFC, we believe that found family can be built through theory and tenderness, through praxis and play. This is our living proof!

Because this space is held with intention, we ask all new members to complete a short Discord invitation form before joining. This helps us welcome people care-fully, as opposed to carelessly, keeping the space loving and aligned!

Truly, we can't wait to meet you. 💗 [beating heart emoji]

Apply to join via the link in our bio or TinyUrl.com/EFC-Discord

Happy Black History Month! Our new website is finally done, carefully crafted by Black femmes from around the world! We encourage you to explore our Liberation Library (affectionately called the LibLib) via EmbodiedFutures.xyz, and to share our work with those far and wide 🪷 [lotus emoji]

Volunteer applications will be opening up later in the season to help us re-organize everything in alignment with our ever-evolving beliefs. So, please, keep an eye out for more :) We need YOUR support to keep political education accessible to all! We need YOU! 💗 [beating heart emoji]

After a much-needed season of rest, reflection, and rebuilding, we're opening our arms again! The EFC Discord server is officially back :)

In the past, this space held hundreds upon hundreds of people across the globe! This included organizers, students, artists, healers, thinkers, dreamers, and more. Each of these individuals showed up to learn together, exchange resources, and care for one another through deeply political times, like now! We're so excited to welcome new family members into the next iteration of this living ecosystem.

Our Discord, after all, is the beating heart of our global connections at EFC. It is a place for shared study, peer support, embodied dialogue, and collective imagination. We want to help you learn and connect globally while organizing locally! And because we value trust, vulnerability, and alignment, we're welcoming folks in with intention through a short invitation form.

If you feel called to grow alongside a global, Black-, queer-, disabled, woman-, AND youth-run collective rooted in decolonial, revolutionay, and embodied wisdoms, we'd love to meet you. Genuinely.

Remember: Take your time. Be yourself. We'll take care with your words!

See you soon :)

Sincerely,

This wasn’t supposed to be an official update. But I couldn’t resist sharing.

Did you know we spent six months just… staring at paper?

Okay, yes, we were absolutely doing other things in-between. But still. From April to October, we sifted through hundreds of textured papers--crumpled, fibrous, torn, scanned, scanned again. We even went home and rummaged through old notebooks from our childhoods, just to find the right texture for our new website's background!

Why? Because we knew our aesthetic, what we’ve come to call "Archival Bloom," needed to feel like memory and blossoming all at once. Archival Bloom means combining the tactile and intimate beauty of archives with the lush, unfurling softness of growth. It honors memory, collage, and rebirth. Layered, storied, and slow, it resists linearity and uplifts collectivity!

So, our website, it needed to look like something kept, something treasured. Like a diary left open. Like a collage unfolding.

We were searching for the perfect paper background! The one whose folds and crinkles felt lived-in, but not overwhelming. The one whose fibers made you feel held. We debated shades, crumple depth, fold placement, even the hue of each shadow. Then spent hours editing it--softening the greys, warming the whites, and tinting the texture until it felt like home.

And that’s the part no one sees. But we see it. And you’ll feel it. Even if you don’t know why.

I hope you enjoyed this mini behind-the-scenes update. Thank you for reading! :)
