“it’s ok to blow the whistle on activists of color who are bullies, abusive, manipulative and harmful. it’s ok to admit that someone you respected greatly, and thought had super “radical” politics behaved in fucked up ways. it’s ok to be angry that your allies, and friends and loved ones aren’t helping to hold this person accountable, because the “work” is so much more important than our individual needs/stories. we are the work. truth-telling is not dismantling our ability to organize. truth-telling increases our capacity to create healthy relationships in our own communities.”

“(Susan B.) Anthony’s staunchly feminist position was also a staunch reflection of bourgeois ideology. And it was probably because of the ideology’s blinding powers that she failed to realise that working class women and Black women alike were fundamentally linked to their men by the class exploitation and racist oppression which did not discriminate between the sexes. While their men’s sexist behaviour definitely needed to be challenged, the real enemy - their common enemy - was the boss, the capitalist, or whoever was responsible for the miserable wages and unbearable working conditions and for racist and sexist discrimination on the job.” Angela Davis, Women, Race, and Class (via seetheworldanew)

I miss mx, especially the days where I would wake up at 7:30 am, get to the metro by 8:30 to get to work by 9 at el Fondo MARIA. I loved it. knowing that the work the collective provided was so urgent and necessary. I actually felt the solidarity amongst the advocates there, it was beautiful. Going to marches together, sharing experiences (with a political lens) and just the vibe of “let’s get shit done!”

Why I almost defriended everyone who had an HRC logo as their profile photo this week

agnesgalore:

It’s becoming increasingly clear to me that, though I didn’t think about this at the time, I probably started a blog because I need somewhere to vent my boundless rage that is not random people’s Facebook walls. I mean, one thing among the many thousands of things that are guaranteed to raise my blood pressure is when folks get all “the internet isn’t real, and it’s not a viable platform for communication,” but also like, Facebook fights are dumb, I’m supposed to be an adult now.

So here’s the thing that got me all het up this week: gay marriage.

Specifically, these goddamn things:
