something about patriarchy and science versus community based work and emotional support. something about “evidence.” something about “biology.” something about how of course the director of nimh is a straight white dude from ohio. something about academies and elitism and systems and labor. something about how community mental health workers are probably predominantly female, and, not unrelatedly, underpaid. something about how the more you know the more you want to be part of the revolution. the more you want to guerrilla train community health workers to provide therapy and abortions and make childcare collectives and do it all ourselves. the more you wonder why (you feel) you need a masters degree. 

my saturn return will begin in november 2016 when i am 29 and end in december 2017 less than a month before my 31st birthday. revelling/reckoning, which is my favorite ani album, was released in 2001, when she was 30. this is important to me.

nothing makes me feel more like a child than that PANG of jealousy that one small detail can invoke

Life is the only way
to get covered in leaves,
catch your breath on sand,
rise on wings;

to be a dog,
or stroke its warm fur;

to tell pain
from everything it’s not;

to squeeze inside events,
dawdle in views,
to seek the least of all possible mistakes;

An extraordinary chance
to remember for a moment
a conversation held with the lamp switched off;

and if only once
to stumble on a stone,
end up soaked in one downpour or another,

mislay your keys in the grass;
and to follow a spark on the wind with your eyes;

and to keep on not knowing
something important

- Wislawa Szymborska, “A Note” (translated by S. Baranczak and C. Cavanagh)

Earlier today Kelly Rowland released a her brand new single Dirty Laundry off her upcoming album Talk A Good Game. which is set to be release on June 18th 2013 . On “Dirty Laundry” Kelly speaks on surviving an abusive relationship and admits her jealousy towards Beyonce.

“I was battered. He’s hitting the window like it was me /
And still it shattered. He pulled me out and said ‘Don’t nobody love you but me / Not your mama / Not your daddy / and especially not Bee. 

“It was very emotional. It took me days to record, I had to get past being so upset and actually sing the song, not sob through it. I always hope that my music can inspire someone, the same way other artists inspire me. Dream said, ‘I want to write you a record so that people will know exactly who you are, underneath it all.’” Rowland tells Billboard.com

When my sister was onstage, killing it like a mother-fu*ker/
I was enraged, feeling it like a mother-fu*ker

“when you make pain look this good it never wears out”

i just moved and i’m pretty sure one of my neighbors is the barista from the cafe behind the school of social work. i stopped by a gym close by to ask about membership rates and the woman at the front desk said “do i know you? you look so familiar.” and then i waited for a light to change standing next one of our current shelter participants. seattle is such a small town for a  city.
