A Daughter is a Colony

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 16:57:19 -0800

a territory, a progeny
a spitting image
like Athena sprung

from her father’s head:
chip off the old block
issue and spawn;

a namesake, a wishbone —
loyalist and traitor —
a native, an other,

a subject, a study,
a history, a half blood,
a continent dark and strange.

- Natasha Trethewey (as seen in Tayari Jones’ Silver Sparrow)

“I’ve been an ex-pat for long enough to understand that I will always be an expat. I can’t live down my nationality. At the same time, there’s something wrong with everybody’s nationality, so might as well live with this one.”

theamericanscholar:

Awe meaning dread mixed with veneration. Awe meaning “solemn and reverential wonder, tinged with … fear, inspired by what is … sublime and majestic in nature,” according to the OED.

Toba was the largest volcanic explosion of the past two million years. Toba Volcano blew 74,000 years ago.

@PatriciaHeaton tweeted some racist shit today:

Before you celebrate abortion Mr. President, you should go to this site: blackgenocide.org/black.html

So, if you are watching The Middle or re-runs of Raymond…stop.

THE ANTIDOTE FOR THIS BULLSHIT IS ALWAYS SHARK-FU and her amazing “The Battle Hymn of Dangerous Black Woman…”

I am a black woman.

I am your enemy if you seek to oppress me and mine.

I am dangerous as hell if you seek power through my oppression.

I am suspect if you fear someone who does not actively seek to be like you, to please you, or to give you strength through my submission.

I am something to be feared if you fear the empowerment of others.

I am - unbought, unbossed, and unashamed.

Reproductive justice didn’t happen to me.

Fighting for the right to determine whether to have children, to raise the children we have, and to raise our families in communities free of violence and oppression…all of that wasn’t done to black women.

All of that was and is done with black women, by black women for black women.

We are of this movement.

Always have been.

Always will be.

So reproductive justice didn’t happen to me.

I am reproductive justice.

“I don’t have many friends; I’m very much a loner. As a child I was very isolated and I’ve never been really close to anyone. Ask nothing, expect nothing. That’s my creed. We’re all just a bunch of sinners crashing around in the darkness.”

“

Pay attention to the person in the office that comes across standoffish or cold. The bitch in human resources or the asshole in accounting, you have no idea what people live with or what they struggle to manage.

Yes, some folks are just fucked up but most often than not, these people are trying to figure out their mental health. I’ve been lucky enough to try and contain these explosions so they don’t affect other people but it’s constant work. I’m always checking in with friends to make sure I didn’t do or say something to upset them. I’m constantly apologizing and checking to see if my speech is racing or my thoughts uncentered. When I’m feeling particularly unstable, I disappear. I stay hidden and silent until I feel grounded again.

There will always be a disconnect. I can only get so close to people. I need to protect them from my whimsy and quirks and bone crushing sadnesses. I lose people that way but I also know who is really in my corner if I can return and they welcome me back.
