“Black Trans Bodies Are Under Attack”: Freed Activist CeCe McDonald, Actress Laverne Cox Speak Out

This is an informative update about the discrimination and recent hate crime cases against black transgender women around the country. This trend of violence against transgender women of color is an epidemic, but currently experiencing a deeply insensitive and dismissive response from law enforcers here and around the country.  Take a moment to listen to these women on the topic, our eyes and ears are needed. Our voices too, in solidarity, when these injustices occur.

Crises of Imagination, Crises of Power

Crises of Imagination, Crises of Power.

Incredible essay on capitalism and how it impacts creativity, and re-imagining the entire relationship. Completely brilliant, and it furthers some things I have been thinking about. Synchronicity.

Have a look…

For Anyone Who is Knocked Down…

…and struggling to get back up…or starting over….this song is for you. It’s a very random post (what isn’t on this blog). But I wanted to do something to say, I’ve been there and am there.

To say, I know your fight, and it’s little by little.

And to say, I’m with you.

*Yeah it’s a song, but…. it’s not.*

Lyrics:

Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR, transmissions will resume
They’ll try to, push drugs that keep us all dumbed down
And hope that, we will never see the truth around
(So come on)

Another promise, another seed
Another, packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed
And all the, green belts wrapped around our minds
And endless, red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

Interchanging mind control
Come let the, revolution takes its toll
If you could, flick the switch and open your third eye
You’d see that, we should never be afraid to die
(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back
It’s time the, fat cats had a heart attack
They know that, their time’s coming to an end
We have to, unify and watch our flag ascend
(So come on)

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey

They will not force us
They will stop degrading us
They will not control us
We will be victorious
So come on

Keep Fighting.
