You should be all scholar-activisty with me.
I’m pulling together a proposal for The 2nd Biennial Seneca Falls Dialogues - “CALL AND RESPONSE - CROSSING FEMINIST BORDERS”! If you’re into it, you should do the same. Must be in by email May 1st! They are “looking for proposals for roundtables, workshops, or artistic performances from students, scholars, activists, groups that explore/expand on gender...

Haven’t listened to this, but putting it up as a reminder.

I posted this on Thursday, December 3
And I’m posting it again. Mainly because I have been thinking about it a lot, and I want to come back to the topic when I have time (read: once I get through my presentations today).
How do we get past our bodies and how do we get past our social presentations?
(The only time I was certain that I had all of you, no bullshit, was when we were fucking. You’d look up at me with that beautiful...
I’ve been having these angry dreams all weekend, dreams where I am very pissed off and very violent for rather unjustifiable reasons. So, I’ve been thinking about fighting a lot. And how 95% of fighting is about showing how big your figurative/literal guns are.
