"I did not believe, as a white woman (and to keep it real, an old white woman), that I should lead the call to action. However, everyone needs to heed the call. Asked if white people should just get out of the way, rapper and activist Killer Mike (Mike Rendon) responded, 'But what I need white America to do beyond right now, is understand that right now is always. It isn’t just helping in the now – it is being a part of fixing it always.'”

Values.
"Palestinian women are seen as not sharing the sort of values that are called upon to come to their rescue. The fact that Gaza voted for Hamas 18 years ago has been deployed to prove that there is collective responsibility for the group’s actions on 7 October and that there are no innocents. In another impulse, the entire value system in Gaza is brought into question by raising features such as the lack of LGBTQ+ rights. In addition to reports of sexual violence during Hamas’s attack, these are seen as factors that should void sympathy for those in Gaza and render them suspect and aligned with Hamas, with Israel as the party that shares liberal progressive values. A New York Times letter responding to some US Ivy League students’ blaming of Israel for the Hamas attack captured this collapse. Didn’t 'Hamas’s many followers at Harvard and Columbia,' the letter asked, 'realise that Hamas brutally persecutes the LGBTQ community in Gaza, subjugates women, and tortures and summarily executes dissidents?' The argument may as well simply say: they are not like us, and they started it.
It is an argument that is a race to the bottom of humanity, giving licence to smear a whole population with the crimes of its worst, and abdicate the responsibility to think critically and empathetically about cultures and politics shaped by years of occupation, crisis and siege. In the US, a voter on the news programme Face the Nation said she was concerned about her reproductive rights, but that it would be 'hypocritical' to use those concerns to justify voting for Joe Biden when he is supporting strikes and blockades on a population that have led to calamitous maternal experiences and outcomes. That sort of clarity feels like a lot to ask at the moment, among competing influences of parochialism, tribalism and propaganda. But the details coming out of Gaza are so graphic, so relentless, that now may be the time to think about what progressive values, feminist or otherwise, really mean if they stop at the threshold of what is familiar."

And that's how much of a Blessed and Fortunate Ancestor I really am."
The cats of Caturday morning enjoying the sun outside were such cute kittens once! Alas, they cannot read.
"I didn't ask to go on the next birth. Mother returned home pale and shaking. Her voice quivered as she told me and my sister the story: how the unborn baby's heart rate had dropped dangerously low, to a mere tremor; how she'd called an ambulance, then decided they couldn't wait and taken the mother in her own car. She'd driven at such speed that by the time she made it to the hospital, she'd acquired a police escort. In the ER, she'd tried to give the doctors the information they needed without seeming too knowledgeable, without making them suspect that she was an unlicensed midwife.
An emergency cesarean was performed. The mother and baby remained in the hospital for several days, and by the time they were released Mother had stopped trembling. In fact, she seemed exhilarated and had begun to tell the story differently, relishing the moment she's been pulled over by the policeman, who was surprised to find a moaning woman, obviously in labor, in the backseat. 'I slipped into the scatter-brained woman routine,' she told me and Audrey, her voice growing louder, catching hold. 'Men like to think they're saving some brain-dead woman who's got herself into a scrape. All I had to do was step aside and let him play the hero!'
The most dangerous moment for Mother had come minutes later, in the hospital, after the woman had been wheeled away. A doctor stopped Mother and asked why she's been at the birth in the first place. She smiled at the memory. 'I asked him the dumbest questions I could think of.' She put on a very high, coquettish voice very unlike her own. 'Oh! Was that the baby's head? Aren't babies supposed to come out feet-first?' The doctor was persuaded that she couldn't possibly be a midwife.
There were no herbalists in Wyoming as good as Mother, so a few months after the incident in the hospital, Judy came to Buck's Peak to restock. The two women chatted in the kitchen, Judy perched on a barstool, Mother leaning across the counter, her head resting lazily in her hand. I took the list of herbs to the storeroom. Maria, lugging a different baby, followed. I pulled dried leaves and clouded liquids from the shelves, all the while gushing about Mother's exploits, finishing with the confrontation in the hospital. Maria had her own stories about dodging Feds, but when she began to tell one I interrupted her.
'Judy is a fine midwife,' I said, my chest rising. 'But when it comes to doctors and cops, nobody plays stupid like my mother.'"

Pretty Lame! Perhaps They've Evolved By Now.
"Several women in the dojo posted a manifesto in the dressing room and asked the other women to please sign the pledge: 'I promise that should anyone ever attack me and try to rape me, I will always fight back with everything that I have, even if it means a fight to my death.' As though our martyrdom will be remembered and hailed in the future, our faces commemorated on postage stamps, and our sacrifice observed annually with large wreaths of white flowers. Because not fighting to the death marks you for life as some kind of traitor. I watched as students left the dressing room taller by a foot after making a promise to one another to never be me."

Can You Be Pregnant with Narcissism? Is this ever a diagnosis?
"I stayed after class and helped Mr Martin sort through his papers. Wouldn’t he see the things my face had to say? Then maybe he’d bring me to his house where I would babysit his son and help out his wife. She might comb my hair and make me a sandwich and let me sleep on their couch where it would feel so much safer. They would hear my telling and keep my secrets. And I’d go back home in August when my mother returned.
I hinted. I talked about the recent case of a teacher in another school who had been raped in the parking lot by a man she carpooled with.
'That kind of happened to me,' I said. 'Last night.'
I held my breath like a diver.
Mr Martin didn’t look up from his papers. He reached for his briefcase and put his notebooks inside.
'Men can’t understand rape,' he said.
When I got home from school, I put the Thursday clothes in a paper bag and took them to the trash can in the parking lot behind the apartment building. They’d have to wait there until the trash was picked up on Monday. But when I got back upstairs, I could still hear them crying. After an hour, I brought the clothes inside.
I washed them by hand and then hid them under a box at the back of my closet. It was the best I could do. They quieted down or else they just died.
At night, my ears were two bloodhounds without a leash following every sound. There was a faint clicking that took me a week to locate. I’d looked everywhere for its source. I even timed the intervals between the clicks – 20 seconds, six seconds, 12 seconds. The pattern repeated, but I couldn’t break the code. Then one morning as I waited on the corner for the light to change, a clunking sound hung above me and I looked up: 20 seconds of green, six seconds of yellow and 12 seconds of red.
I brought the Random House dictionary into my room. I wondered if other people picked words at random from dictionaries and books to help them find answers they couldn’t find elsewhere.
I let the pages of the large dictionary flip-flop back and forth between my palms. I wanted a word just for me in that moment.
The pages fell open in the As. I closed my eyes and let my finger land on a word.
ag·gra·vat·ed
adjective
an offence made worse, as in the use of a deadly weapon [kid-napping, rape]
I couldn’t let that word stay in my room overnight. Some words that show up are not talismans at all. Instead, they push their way forward like a bad dream with a fever.
I was sitting in algebra class when the blood came. Mr Martin was in the middle of reading a quote about algebra being metaphysical. The VW zero we’d drawn was still in the middle of the east-west highway behind him. I asked Mr Martin for a pass to the girl’s restroom.
Dear Our Lady of the Blessed Menstruation, thank God I’m not pregnant.
Mr Martin had no idea what a horror the girls’ restroom was – how not a single toilet worked, ever. How the toilets were chronically stopped up with bloody Kotex and shit. How, during the regular school year, the girls’ bathroom was just a place to buy dope, write graffiti, smoke, fight or fuck. I felt like I might vomit.
During summer school the bathroom was mostly empty. I jammed my washcloth into my underpants and headed home. For each block on the long sweaty walk, I counted how many humid breaths I inhaled and exhaled. Counting this way kept me from fainting.
The cramps were furious – as though my uterus was slicing its own lining to shreds first before spitting it out. As though the lining were the underpants I left in the truck on Thursday 5 July. As though my pelvis was finally able to scream and kick and punch the closest thing it could find.
It never occurred to me that it should have occurred to my mother to do more to protect me. What you get is what you get.
My mother wasn’t the kind of person to need other people. That’s what she told me once when I was alone in Ireland at 18 years old. I was ready to come back after three months on an independent study project for college. I didn’t use the word lonely, but my mother could sniff out my soft sides like a German shepherd sniffs out a bomb. I only ever told her I missed her one time after I’d moved out. She howled in complaint. 'How can you miss me? You keep coming back.'”
