On one hand, my ‘fuck the bucket’ epiphany (and artistic ritual) was really valuable to align myself with a deeper knowledge. Taking into account that myself, crabs who snip at my heels, and the crabs whose heels I am compelled to snip, were never meant to be in a fucking bucket in the first place… Continue reading bobbing cork in a bucket

Weakness: My pet peeve
I’ve been in an on-again, off-again conversation with a friend regarding ‘weakness’, of vulnerability =ing weakness in terms of technology, and in terms of societal structuring/social justice. That conversation has helped clarify something for me: Though I’ve largely stopped doing it anyway, I am flat out through using the word weak to describe human beings.… Continue reading Weakness: My pet peeve

A fight for ‘equality’ does not rely on disavowing systemic oppression to rationalize ones idea of justice. A fight for ‘vengeance’ does.

Experiment: 1000 words
Challenge: Relegate my targetedly offensive language (against women, mentally ill, etc). Duration: Ongoing Compendious Result: The road, she is long. I’m exploring how my language use reflects in the social consideration I’ve been developing the last few years. I rather automatically say a lot of things that bother myself now, after discovering that everything I… Continue reading Experiment: 1000 words
Tech: The Newest Frontier of White Supremicy
I was just talking with an old friend about the ‘boys club’ we were a part of when I worked with him in tech.
This article, in my opinion, is spot on – and I relate to the experiences of invalidation, lack of support, and having the sexist and marginalizing behaviors of others defended against rather than questioned; by myself, included.
At the time, I thought this was normal. Thanks to a lifetime of choosing to date within this, and another sexist white-male dominated field (law), I am finally getting fed up, I no longer believe ‘normal’ is this case.
The path to Enwhitenment
This is one of the most brilliantly written, keenly observed social criticisms I’ve ever read.
It rings in part for just about every spiritual white person I’ve ever met, including myself; I both mirror my own misguided aspects of it, and fiercely recognize this as a set of core ideals in SO many people I’ve known in my life;
Known, and deeply, deeply disliked.
I wish I had had this to send them, to articulate my stance for me, back when I still put up with them, and people who choose to be like them.
Behold, the path of #Enwhitenment http://enwhitenment.wordpress.com/
#YesAllWomen
@TweetOfNee Because it takes a hashtag to bring to the surface the extent of what I do subconsciously to protect myself. Every single day. #YesAllWomen @TweetOfNee Because our hypervigilant managing, scanning, and strategizing in attempts to shake subhuman social status doesn’t work. #YesAllWomen @TweetOfNee Because 5000 years of women being seen as sexual property will… Continue reading #YesAllWomen
Not all Men.
In the usual world, the occasional anomaly Elliot whatshisfucks not withstanding, it seems it’s always the ones who say “I’m not that guy” who fall the hardest when they behave like one; the ones who deny their darkness as from another breed are, of course, the least capable of fessing up and overcoming their embodiments… Continue reading Not all Men.
