Josephine Baker (1920).

“One of the most important lessons I also learned from anarchism is that you need to look for the radical things that we already do and try to encourage them. This is why I think there is so much potential for anarchism in the Black community: so much of what we already do is anarchistic and doesn’t involve the state, the police, or the politicians. We look out for each other, we care for each other’s kids, we go to the store for each other, we find ways to protect our communities. Even churches still do things in a very communal way to some extent. I learned that there are ways to be radical without always passing out literature and telling people, “Here is the picture, if you read this you will automatically follow our organization and join the revolution.” For example, participation is a very important theme for anarchism and it is also very important in the Back community. Consider jazz: it is one of the best illustrations of an existing radical practice because it assumes a participatory connection between the individual and the collective and allows for the _expression of who you are, within a collective setting, based on the enjoyment and pleasure of the music itself. Our communities can be the same way. We can bring together all kinds of diverse perspectives to make music, to make revolution. How can we nurture every act of freedom? Whether it is with people on the job or the folks that hang out on the corner, how can we plan and work together? We need to learn from the different struggles around the world that are not based on vanguards. There are examples in Bolivia. There are the Zapatistas. There are groups in Senegal building social centers. You really have to look at people who are trying to live and not necessarily trying to come up with the most advanced ideas. We need to de-emphasize the abstract and focus what is happening on the ground.”

i went to target today and look at what i got. it’s so cute for why???

all this “centering men” discourse is making me lose it i thought we were over this 4 years ago. anyway here’s the thing. even if a bi woman is dating a man or talking about wanting to date a man, she’s still not “centering men”. bi women are autonomous beings within our own lives that choose to cultivate relationships that fulfill US, that center OURSELVES. this idea that us daring to cultivate those relationships with men or reference them in any way is “centering men” is just indicative that you think of us as nothing but extensions of these men and it’s deeply misogynist.
