My My My.  Collage for Octavia Butler by Alexis Pauline Gumbs, @blackfeministbreathing

“Writing is difficult. You do it all alone without encouragement and without any certainty that you’ll ever be published or paid or even that you’ll be able to finish the particular work you’ve begun. It isn’t easy to persist amid all that. […] Sometimes when I’m interviewed, the interviewer either compliments me on my ‘talent’, my ‘gift’ or asks me how I discovered it. […] I used to struggle to answer this politely, to explain that I didn’t believe much in writing talent. People who want to write either do it or they don’t. At last I began to say that my most important talent - or habit - was persistence. Without it, I would have given up writing long before I finished my first novel. It’s amazing what we can do if we simply refuse to give up.”  Octavia E. Butler (via @merigreenleaf )

If you don’t yet love your body as your own, sometimes it helps to think of it as a Thing you are capable of caring for.

Instagram and Facebook begin removing posts offering abortion pills

Social media posts ostensibly aimed to help women living in states where preexisting laws banning abortion suddenly snapped into effect last

tumblr, want to do something good for women? Be the social media company who never does this.

So This is happening….

If anyone else is doing it and wants to be buddies or accountability partners let me know. 

If you're a pagan of any sort, and you are fortunate enough to be celebrating today with loved ones around you, hold them close through the darkest night.  Never stop welcoming them with laughter, libations, and kindred love.  Don't take what you have for granted, and if you can help it, don't be shy, ok?  Please also open your arms to others today in whatever way you can, even if you're uncertain whether your beliefs are welcome.  Somebody near you is awesome, accidentally solitary, and looking for a little light tonight.
