“Of course I'll hurt you. Of course you will hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence”
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

When I worked in a pediatric hospital for inpatient behavioral health, I had many patients who were young girls and teens who had been sex trafficked by their own parents, who thought that since they birthed the girls they could determine how the girls were touched.

The kids are xenophobic, they’re anti-Black, they’re misogynistic, transphobic, ableist
The kids are us, I’m sorry
They direct the violence where they see us direct the violence
They’re in incredible pain and they don’t know what to do

there are elders in my bones whom i have never met. their prayers are tucked and hidden beneath my skin. their courage is threaded through my hair. i walk into the world thinking i am alone, until i remember who walks with me.

I love when the people get fed the fuck up and get active. That’s that autumn air I remember vividly, and every single autumn I think about revolution

if love is the highest frequency, it should have actioned greater transformation already. anything mainstreamly said is usually imprecise. i think "authenticity" (acknowledging the limitations of the word) is the higher frequency.
the i am that i am is not "love"; it Is.

Tina Turner's role in the Birtish musical drama Tommy was originally built around casting Mick Jagger or David Bowie for the role. Turner originally turned it down due to its dark nature, but director Ken Russell felt her explosive stage energy and persona fit perfectly.

Muammar Ibrahim was the voice of Elfashir, the loudest journalistic voice reporting out of the city.
Not only did he report on the realities of the 18-month siege, he lived them, wasting away as the RSF starved & choked the life out of Elfashir.
