The last thing was looking at myself naked in the mirror and feeling aroused. Dancing, like private music-video emo dancing. Getting lost in a baby's eyes, or a child's plans for the day. The BOLD Harlem Renaissance costume party. when communities I love act in solidarity with each other. The last things to bring me peak glee are.
This may be an insignificant life in some grand epic scape, but in the scale of my life, I am doing my best and really getting a lot done for a lazy weed lover. I feel free a lot, I surround myself with good revolutionary people.and I think, ok padawon. How much repression I have cast off, how much oppression I have negated, how I went from homophobic to pansexual, from military brat to post-nationalist/post-capitalist. But I sometimes look at how far I've come, in my lifetime, in my lineage. I believe it's tied to the truth that, as an individual, I can never do enough in the face of all the intersecting injustices of my life and time. I don’t avoid the “activist guilt” that’s tied to devoting yourself to justice, but.
that internal knowledge that I am not inferior to a man who is simultaneously thinking that he is superior to me. Or a warm gooey cookie-brownie-thing under. cold, slightly melted ice cream with some kind of hard chocolate in it. They are two bodies of dynamic brilliant incredible humans who make me laugh and feel seen and valued… I am deeply content in those spaces and in Detroit. Black Organizing for Leadership and Dignity and the Emergent Strategy Ideation Institute. I get major joy from activist communities like. Lizzo too, the pleasure she gets from just confronting the world with her excellence and then laughing. It’s the texture of a chalky slime mold, so I guess avocado toast is a mystery to me? And most pets are devolving captives subsisting on dregs of human attention in place of vibrant wild community, so most super cute pet pics/videos on social media just make me dream of liberation. I remind myself I can't be good at something I'm doing for the first time, and that reminder helps me humble into learning mode. I like the pleasure of the familiar, so when something new truly delights me in a tangible way, I chase the white rabbit down the hole.
