Zapatistas Comandanta Dalia ‘Waking up to the good fight’

2015Comandanta DaliaComandanta DaliaGood evening compañeros and compañeras, brothers and sisters.I’m going to explain a little bit of what compañera Comandanta Rosalinda said.Just as she explained, it is now my turn to talk about how we become authorities. From 1994 on, we knew that we had rights as women. That was when we woke up. This is how little by little we grew to

I wish I could say

that I am a peaceful warrior,

but I know it’s not true.

I can hurt.

I can be malicious.

I can spit arrows

with my mouth,

through my words,

with an intention to slay

all false authority,

with an intention

to cut through the bullsh*t,

with an intention to tear down

what no longer sustains us.

It’s not who I truly am.

It’s just an act.

I know.

It’s something I need to do

in order to challenge,

move,

direct,

elevate,

and help set humanity free.

Feminists don’t care if you like hot pink, eat salads or shave your crotch | Jessica Valenti | Comment is free | The Guardian

Feminists don’t care if you like hot pink, eat salads or shave your crotch | Jessica Valenti | Comment is free | The Guardian.

 feminism has never been about making women feel good or supporting everything they do – it’s a political and social movement for equality. If Vernon wants to get behind that, great. No one will even care if she diets along the way. 

Me – “Vernon’s book should be a hit with the folks/dolts she is writing for – ideologues who like to pretend that the world is against them – white men, neo-conservatives and fundamentalists, as well as guys who don’t want to mature beyond being 10 or 11 years old – mentally.”

This year, younger students were paired up with “Garden Buddies” in older grades for the Secret Salad Seeds project. Each group was designated a square in a bed to plant a seed and observe it throughout its growing process. Students maintained a garden journal where they documented their observations, measurements and characteristics to come up with predictions about what plant they believed they were growing. They were also given clues throughout the six weeks.

On Monday, the kindergarten students through sixth graders harvested their plants, separating them into their designated bins.

The Beauty In Brutal Breakdowns. | Rebelle Society

I have come to see beauty in the breakdown and no longer shy away from this place of broken, real and uncomfortable. When I let go of resistance, broken-down becomes a place where I can rest. A place of naked tranquil abiding, where the trivialities of life no longer disturb or distress.

As a hospice nurse, I have the rare privilege of sharing in the exquisite and brutal breakdown that is death and the dying process.

I meet people when they are most vulnerable, and together we stand in the eye of the storm, bathed in uncomfortable uncertainty. I go with them into the deepest dark place of broken-down; I meet them in the inescapable exposed reality of the inevitable. It is an honor to help bear their pain, for the pain of loss belongs to all of us — none are exempt.
