It’s crazy that I feel like I’m all the time accommodating other people and my absolute closest and long lasting friend feels that I’m one of the most assertive person they’ve met. Almost a bit aggressive in this. I guess those two things can coegsist bt wtf. Seems I need some unpacking of all that 😂

What’s that called again?
welcome back

A hand holds a copy of the book "White Fragility: Why It's So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism" by Robin DiAngelo. The book cover is black with white text and shows signs of wear.
If you’re white it is a must. And I don’t care if “you are not racist”. Deconstructing your whiteness and its role in where you are today is your duty as a member of broader society. Same applies to “Why I’m no longer talking to white people about race” by Reni Eddo-Lodge
A black cat is sleeping on a dark brown storage box on a balcony. The cat is bathed in sunlight, and there are plants in pots around it.

Notes for Radical Living: Make friends with chaos. Hold a calm mind. Let things shake. Forgive human frailty. Champion second chances. Defy unkindness. Reverence fellowship. Listen to the quiet. Respect the young. Seek growth. Trust in change. Treasure learning. Inspire faith in evolution. Reach beyond the binary. Be wary of the doubtless. Honor the bright headed. Grow plants. Attend to the weather. Be electric. Cherish language. Celebrate silence. Dance daily. Bless the handmade. Sing into pain. Challenge assumptions. Follow the wind. Look upwards. Swoon under clouds. Feel your courage. Face forward. Read history. Open your ears. Drop your shoulders. Bend your knees. Raise the roof. Keep breathing. Be trustworthy. Take care of yourself. Believe in goodness. Head for the light. - Tilda Swinton

My favorite person on the planet. I love him ❤️‍🔥
“We all know about the fight against cancer, but what about parasitic worms? It doesn’t make for such a good charity music video, but these tiny creatures have led to 1 billion people worldwide being infected with Neglected Tropical Diseases, causing ongoing fever, horribly swollen limbs, and blindness. These conditions are far easier to treat than cancer, but we never hear about them because they very rarely affect rich people. An important rule of thumb to remember: if you’re going to raise awareness of an issue, pick one that everyone isn’t already aware of.”
From a diary of recovering savior: When the caretaker infrastructure isn’t running, the dynamic collapses into exactly what it is: thin, shallow, slightly awkward, and low-energy.
A person holds a black protest sign with white lettering that reads "NO MORE MR. NICE FAG." The image is in black and white and appears to be taken at an outdoor event or protest.
“Greg McKeown, author of the book Essentialism, has emphasized the power of pruning our own lives, of prioritizing the pursuit of less, but better. His philosophy is “not about how to get more things done; it’s about how to get the right things done.” It’s about spending your energy mindfully, and only on the things that truly matter to you. Weeding out the bullshit. Excavating the underbrush.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“ - R. Christiansen, The Guide To Becoming Alive Weeding out the bullshit. things that truly matter to you.
On a second thought about White Fragility I think that the most important binary to dismantle is Bad person == Racist person. None of us thinks of themselves as a “bad person”. We genuinely believe (and most is correct, I’m sure) that we can be called a “good person” or at least we do not belong to the “bad person” category. This therefore exempts us from thinking that we may behave in a racist way or that we may have racist beliefs and biases. Aka - “Racism is bad; only bad people can be racist, right? Hence this is something that does not apply to me. I am not a bad person.” And just like that: whole conversation killed even before it started. Simple and effective avoidance strategy. Second one to dismantle would be: “I didn’t have bad intentions therefore I cannot be at guilt and my comfort needs to be protected. I cannot feel uncomfortable in this conversation”. Well, f-you. Intentions do not cancel the effects of actions, nor our comfort is required for the anti-racist argument being brought against our action.
A green sign with a Spanish quote hangs on a tiled wall above a shelf filled with books and decorative items. The quote translates to 'Doing something is always better than nothing'.
