I read this right after having a huge heart opening experience and doing all of this inner child work where I told my inner child that all I need to do to make art is be myself. It was such a godsend. I’m done with trying to prove my validity in the patriarchy. My feeling now is that I don’t want a seat at the table, I want to burn it down. But I’m also open to other strategies when the rage transforms into something else.
I think right now is the most important time to work for free speech. The right wing is trying very hard to shut it down, threatening and carrying out threats against universities, students, particulary the most vulnerable foreign born students. Thank you Rob for keeping free speech alive.
i understand your reticence to shield yourself from the absolute shit that is happening right now. at 75, i was also a "child of the 60's", with activism full-bloom in me. starting with civil rights, Vietnam, and reproductive rights and the "sexual revolution", i spent my adulthood working for the rights of all! yet, here, today, i have imploded. i have been overwhelmed with the egregious bullshit slapping me in the face multiple times every day. i am TIRED! somebody else take over for a while and i don't mean the current crop of our country's destroyers! but, now, i am trying to climb out of this pit of despair. i am closing ranks, doing what is necessary for protecting myself, my family, neighbors and community. i try to take heart that this too shall end and hopefully without too many permanent damages done. i have extreme doubts each day but these hopes are the only things letting me get out of bed each morning. i hope you also find a glimmer of hope somewhere in your community. peace.
