Writing these things is my kryptonite.
Hospice can be magic.
Abolition, accountability, belonging, laughter, dance, and knowing when to shut up and when to speak up are really f*cking cool.
I just showed my 14 year old daughter who has embraced this approach and she got this big smile on her face!

I would love to join too! A way to keep sane and connected to beauty and love and silliness in the fuckery. And kickstart that - hey I wish I wrote more poems - thought I keep having. 💜

YES!!! I saw it three times in 10 days. I brought at least 1 person each time. Incredible on so many levels! It is like nothing I ever experienced and the beauty and love that went into its making washes over me every time. See this movie like your life depends on it!

Reminds me of one of my favorite Grace Lee Boggs quotes:
“Building community is to the collective as spiritual practice is to the individual.”

We don't need to move in lock step to support each other on the path toward liberation.

"I want you to say to [your husband] that I didn't come to Selma to make his job more difficult. But I thought that if the White people understood what the alternative was, that they would be more inclined to listen to your husband, and so that's why I came."

Right now - this is as easy as the resistance gets. We have to work that muscle, embrace the discomfort and fear that will come (especially those of us with the privileges that come with not being marginalized because of who we are) so we can stand strong when we need to.

In one of the few lines in the movie, the father of Jägerstätter's wife says to her: “Better to suffer injustice than to do it.”

The movie "A Hidden Life," based on real events, is the story of a little known Austrian farmer, Franz Jägerstätter, who refused to fight for the Nazis in World War II, and his family. It is a beautiful and devastating movie.

Couldn't find a better link to the speech. It's 1/28/1972 speech to a Special Session of the Security Council.

Throughout history it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph. -Haile Selassie
