Happiest birthday to my favorite poet Bodhisattva, Audre Lorde. You taught a litany for survival impressing the truth that there is nothing stable under heaven. Make me like you, unflinching as I look at my life and the other shore. Let me use what I got so that it might make it a little bit easier for someone else to live.

May we "hold faith with sun in a sunless place." (Audre Lorde)

May all beings be free from suffering and it's causes. LNY 2026 🐎🤲🏽🧧🍊 we are some bodies.

Rest in power Dear Reverend Jesse Jackson.

My dear comadre is hosting two programs covering the holy ground of learning the language of the body. Starts soon! Consider it an offering towards a decolonized nervous system. 🤲🏽🤲🏽🤲🏽 May it be so.

and happy Black History Month, although every month is Black in our house. 🖤
Tu lucha es mi lucha, tus sueños mis sueños.

Getting over a sickness that had me feeling real pitiful. So now I get to see what it feels like to be alive again. Now I get to remember.

I get to remember that abolition is necessary, like new bones, new mouths, new ways of being with this hard life.

That rather than be fu**ed up by fears I can press upon the s**t that makes me feel brave and badass.

I get to remember that sometimes s**t is soo sweet like when my son, away at school, visits the museum and sees Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara and sends a pic because he knows that's the homie!

I get to remember to show up, even when it looks like it ain't about me, it's not "my problem", we're forever and always intertwined and so, it IS my problem and my path. It is at my door, even when it's a different house.

I get to remember that I get to call it, whether it sets me free or digs me in. I get to say what free really is, for me.

And then, from that place, I get to create the causes and conditions for a wish so deep it changes the whole way in which this world is set up.
