“It is important to remember that emotional pain comes in waves. Remind yourself that there will be a pause in between waves.”
jenny offill, Weather

Mikki Kendall
“Poverty is an apocalypse in slow motion, inexorable and generational.”
Mikki Kendall, Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

Mikki Kendall
“Too often white women decide that when they feel uncomfortable, upset, or threatened, they can turn to the patriarchy for protection. Because they don't want to lose that protection (dubious as it is), they stand by when it's convenient, and challenge it only when it directly threatens them. Yet, they know they benefit from it being challenged, and thus rely on others to do the heaviest lifting. They fail to recognize the conflicted relationship they have with the patriarchy includes a certain cowardice around challenging not only it, but other women who have embraced it.”
Mikki Kendall, Hood Feminism: Notes from the Women That a Movement Forgot

Saidiya Hartman
“No, Kropotkin never described black women's mutual aid societies or the chorus in Mutual Aid, although he imagined animal society in its rich varieties & the forms of cooperation & mutuality found among ants, monkeys & ruminants. Impossible, recalcitrant domestics weren't yet in his view or anyone else's.”
Saidiya Hartman, Wayward Lives, Beautiful Experiments: Intimate Histories of Riotous Black Girls, Troublesome Women, and Queer Radicals

Rachel Ingalls
“Why do you call him a monster?”
“Well, an eight-foot tall green gorilla with web feet and bug eyes—what would you call him? A well-developed frog? Not exactly an Ivy-league type, anyway.’”
“I’ve met plenty of Ivy-leaguers I’d call monsters.”
Rachel Ingalls, Mrs. Caliban
