Make the bloated polticians shut up and sit down with real work and stop thinking a party with no soul is your only mouthpiece.

lock tf in. get your ass in mutual aid groups. lend your time to meal services. care for people in the way a vote simply never could. advocate for community gardens and libraries. stop betraying community. you don’t get a sticker or gold star. lock in.

What alarms me, stepping into this new era, is that Americans aren’t in the habit of caring for anyone but themselves, individually, and so we are ill-prepared to do the work that must be done. We are spiritually and emotionally deficient, if the last year hadn’t proven it.

I just can't believe I'm spending my thirties making sure my friends don't die in childbirth.

[Julie Roginsky @julieroginsky]

I have been asked on two different networks and by two different male hosts today whether abortion rights are as important to women as the economy. I can't say it more clearly: reproductive freedom is economic freedom. They are intrinsically intwined, as every woman knows.

J'étais au rassemblement en soutien à #AhouDaryaei, étudiante iranienne battue et arrêtée par la «police des mœurs» et pour la libération des femmes emprisonnées en Iran.

For my fortieth birthday, I took myself on a solo trip to Venice. Part I of the two-part essay I’ve been writing about the experience is now live on Spiritual Material. (📷 Elisa Maria)

I voted blue in Alabama.

Thank you, @Dalai_Mama_ , for the incredible experience of hearing your work and meeting your artistic universe last night. Your movement through research and poem-making as a continuation of the vast legacy of Black ecologies and literary expressions is completely inspiring.

I wonder what we’re doing suggesting people “think of it as buying me a coffee” instead of saying “PAY WRITERS.”

[Alina Stefanescu @aliner]

That is the question that is being wept through the tears of Antigone. It is more than a question, for a question doesn't cry, but it is perhaps the origin of all questions. And it is the question of the foreigner -- of the foreign woman.

The old, real but restless defiant favor of this place. I’m sad to go.
