  • Moments: Me on Making Emotional Labour Visible - with thanks Sabah & Pris (links in notes)
    This moment was recorded LIVE as part of Consent Conversations at Smut Club. The rest of this discussion is coming soon. Many thanks to Sabah and Pris for deepening my understanding of consent and emotional labour.

    "If you don't have any connection to disability from your own life, it's very easy to not understand it." -Sunyal Maroo Sunyal Maroo was born with Ataxic Cerebral Palsy and began experiencing debilitating chronic nerve pain at the age of 17. He has forged a career that leverages his lived experiences in his professional life. After graduating, Sunyal worked in various roles at Curtin University.

About It's So Hard

I’m Tess Lyrez, a Western Australia–based and touring Ȿ:/ 𝒲₃ᵣ. Listen in as I chat with guests about life in and around the Ȿ₃* industry. In 2020, I co-founded It’s So Hard podcast with my childhood friend Jenn Brown, to remain visible in a climate of online surveillance. Over time, the podcast evolved into a platform for political discourse. In 2024, Jenn sadly stepped back from hosting. But I’ve kept the mic on, and guests continue to share insights into Ȿ:/ 𝒲 and its intersections. More – https://allmylinks.com/softermedia All opinions are our own; we don’t represent broader communities. It’s So Hard podcast is an independent platform. This podcast contains €xpł!₵it descriptions. Tess Lyrez, It’s So Hard, Softer Media, Decrim, WA, Perth, Boorloo, Tess Louise®
