Millions of People With Felonies Can Now Vote. Most Don’t Know It.

"To dehumanize another human being is not merely to declare that someone is not human, and it does not happen by accident. It is a process, a programming. It takes energy and reinforcement to deny what is self-evident."

Isabel Wilkerson - Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents

"Once we begin to feel deeply all the aspects of our lives, we begin to demand from ourselves and from our life-pursuits that they feel in accordance with that joy which we know ourselves to be capable of. Our erotic knowledge empowers us, becomes a lens through which we scrutinize all aspects of our existence, forcing us to evaluate those aspects honestly in terms of their relative meaning within our lives." - Audre Lorde

It really all boils down to this. If you don't care enough to ensure that your sexual partner is enjoying themselves, you shouldn't be having sex. Get a fleshlight or a real doll, if you don't care about somebody reacting positively to what you're doing.

Or, if you want a partner who reacts negatively? Fearfully? Guess what - you're a rapist/abuser. Get some help.

"White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack" and "Some Notes for Facilitators"

There is no greater joy for me to see others crack the shell that the world forced them into - tearing it as they emerge into the world as such beautiful beings, strong and capable of such tremendous love.

As the great John Trudell once said — 'Protect your spirit, because you are in the place where spirits get eaten.'

Crack the fragile egos around you who can't handle your Authentic Self - your WHOLENESS. Fuck 'em if they can't keep up with the transformation that's coming within you.

Body/Appearance shaming often leads to comparison and shame, and perpetuates the idea that people should be judged mainly for their physical features.

The simple, horrifying fact is - in the GOP's mind, there aren't enough white babies being born.
That is LITERALLY all this comes down to.
It's a eugenics arms race.

The GOP protects/supports groomers, rapists and pedophiles.

In theory, a resource or foster family can earn as much more than $9,000 per month, prorated per night. Instead of paying LITERAL strangers to take in children, to ensure that they don't stay in dangerous situations - why not give the actual parents this money?

And there are entirely too many white folks in the United States who rage that anybody who isn’t a Cis Hetero White Man (an accepted member of their Favored/Ruling Caste) isn’t deferent anymore. Nobody ‘knows their place’ anymore.. Those in the Disfavored Cast are a threat every time they don’t kneel as they should.

The song remains the same.

We need to do better.

“...in order to achieve true repentance the sinner must abandon their sin, remove it from their thoughts, and resolve in their heart never to repeat it” - Maimonides

“Without personally realizing the full extent of the wrong, and articulating it to ourselves in a confession, we cannot take these matters to heart and effect permanent change.” - Maimonides on Teshuvah: The Ways of Repentance by Henry M. Abramson

When we transgress against another human being, causing them harm, it is our DUTY as a healthy human being to OWN exactly what we did, reflect on it, work to consider how it made the injured party feel and then work to make amends to them.

In this time thick with lies, abuse and hateful actions, personal accountability needs to be PARAMOUNT.

Any less and we are actively causing harm to ourselves and those around us.
