self-care includes holding each other accountable because we are interconnected. loving ourselves includes learning how not to harm each other. Loving ourselves includes disrupting violent patterns in our homes and community-building spaces.

I wish I could be around when the world finally treats the bible as a piece of ancient literature and we can all read it just to laugh at the silly things people used to believe 

People do this now with stuff like Beowulf, and Beowulf is much more recent.  And there’s nothing in Beowulf that’s more outlandish than some things in the Bible.

Why am I compelled to write? Because the writing saves me from this complacency I fear. Because I have no choice. Because I must keep the spirit of my revolt and myself alive. Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it.

A truce between two of the largest street gangs in the world went into effect this week. M-S-13 and 18th street signed a peace accord earlier this month in the capital of El Salvador. Representatives from both gangs said the truce was a gesture of good will for the people of El Salvador at a time when the country has been ravaged by crime and violence.
In Los Angeles, dozens of gang interventionists and current and former gang members gathered to lend their support for the peace process.

Pacifica’s Ernesto Arce files this report from Los Angeles.

Listening to this right now. Important.

Like, okay. Air travel sucks. I get it. You’re mad because you spent $300 to sit inside a hurtling sky-dildo and breathe other people’s recycled farts, and on top of that you have to have a fat person’s fat elbow a little bit in your area for a few hours. I’m so very sorry. But do you know what? I’m on Team Fat Person’s Elbow no matter what (and not just because I am a fat person with elbows). Because the pain and degradation that’s built in to that fat person’s life lasts a lot longer than your eight hour flight.
