  • 1709 || bell hooks || patriarchy isn't funny

    "No one has ever explained why accurately naming this system is funny. The laughter is itself a weapon of patriarchal terrorism. It functions as a disclaimer, discounting the significance of what is being named. It suggests that the words themselves are problematic and not the system they describe." - bell hooks

  • 1708 || bell hooks on understanding patriarchy

    Patriarchy is the single most life-threatening social disease assaulting the male body and spirit in our nation. Yet most men do not use the word “patriarchy” in everyday life. - bell hooks


    By highlighting psychological patriarchy, we see that everyone is implicated and we are freed from the misperception that men are the enemy. To end patriarchy we must challenge both its psychological and its concrete manifestations in daily life.  - bell hooks

  • 1707 || stop assuming "it" is inevitable

    There is a tendency to think that what we see in the present moment will continue. We forget how often we have been astonished by the sudden crumbling of institutions, by extraordinary changes in people’s thoughts, by unexpected eruptions of rebellion against tyrannies, by the quick collapse of systems of power that seemed invincible.

    What leaps out from the history of the past hundred years is its utter unpredictability.  - Howard Zinn

    "This zine is all about why it’s important to cultivate the capacity to stay with our feelings, and how we can go about doing that. Hopefully working through the zine will help you to figure out your own emotional landscape (which feelings you tend to prefer, and which you tend to avoid). It’ll also give you several possible practices for learning to stay with your feelings. Different things work for different people so it’s all about figuring out what works best for you."

  • 1700 || beg change from a world that needs some

    title credit: Alkaline Trio or read today's episode, here.


    The only thing that has helped me to stop doom scrolling was remembering that worst people in the world want me to doom scroll.


    We've become inundated and confused and overwhelmed and scared. And that's by design.


    They're banking on us disconnecting. They've invested a lot in forcing us to tap out. I don't like people telling me what to do and how to think. You're gonna buy in sometimes, but when you realize it? Resist that shit as hard as you can.


    Action is the remedy to hopelessness. Hope is a verb.


    Someone once said, if you’re scared to lose your life you already have, and that stuck with me.


    If we want real change in the long term? That requires us to be comfortable changing something now.


    Things don’t change unless I do, and if I’m being honest with myself? It’s beyond time for a few changes.
