All I think about these days is how Anne Carson took 2 years out of her degree (finishing her BA at 24), Marie Howe didn’t come to poetry until she was 30 (& earned her M.F.A. at 33) and Anne Boyer ‘worked for a company that sold anal thermometers & cadaver hooks for meatpacking plants/ stockyards but only as a lowest level pink collar employee then fired upon getting pregnant’ (her own words from Twitter)

saying it again but a feminism that invites people to publicly share and discuss their traumatic experiences, without mentioning any of the potential downfalls or side effects, is so dangerous, for example: if your social media account is public, potential employers could find it, or it could force confrontation within your immediate social sphere, or random strangers could harass you, without even going into mental health aspects of “sharing a story” over and over again. there are ways to break down shame and stigma around trauma without making individual people into platforms, especially when they do not have the legal and financial protection of large celebrities, and there are actual safer spaces to discuss your own trauma, and safer ways to process things, than very public revelation

centrists: i don’t believe in genocide, but i’ll defend to the death your right to organize, recruit, distribute propaganda, and make clear statements saying that you are about to commit genocide. i don’t believe in it though and i don’t understand how it happens

There is a kind of crying I hope you have not experienced, and it is not just crying about something terrible that has happened, but a crying for all of the terrible things that have happened, not just to you but to everyone you know and to everyone you don’t know and even the people you don’t want to know, a crying that cannot be diluted by a brave deed or a kind word, but only by someone holding you as your shoulders shake and your tears run down your face.

…she ought to be able to remember this, what it’s like, what’s coming. But who can remember pain, once it’s over? All that remains of it is a shadow, not in the mind even, in the flesh. Pain marks you, but too deep to see.
