Imagine how much easier it would be for us to learn how to love if we began with a shared definition.

I guess I wish we could talk about: what does it mean to have a politics of intersectionality that also privileges what form of domination is most oppressing us at a given moment in time.

Feminism is a movement to end sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression.

It is important and vital is to keep that education for critical consciousness around intersectionalities, so that people are able to not focus on one thing and blame one group, but be able to look holistically at the way intersectionality informs all of us: whiteness, gender, sexual preferences, etc. Only then can we have a realistic handle on the political and cultural world we live within.

Knowledge rooted in experience shapes what we value and as a consequence how we know what we know as well as how we use what we know.

Writing and the hope of writing pulls me back from the edges of despair. I believe insanity and despair are at times one and the same.

When we only name the problem, when we state complaint without a constructive focus or resolution, we take hope away. In this way critique can become merely an expression of profound cynicism, which then works to sustain dominator culture.
