"How would we spend our time if we realized that the conflicts we are experiencing now urgently demand that we create a more loving world as soon as possible?"
Alexis Pauline Gumbs
"And what could I tell you that would help you remember how necessary you are in the time of disposability?"
healing no longer looks like a state of addressing past traumas, healing now looks like a state of reclamation!
It is no longer what do I let go of, it is now what do I desire to create in my life.
Capitalism makes not helping our friends deem acceptable because it’s “emotional labor” and the only labor we’re allowed to prioritize is the kind with monetary value. We don’t have the capacity to love but we still maintain, still our capacity to clock-in.
Capitalism has too many of you believing rich people are wiser, more disciplined, have something more profound to say than your neighbors and family.
