‘it is unspeakable. 

it took a week for me to have anything i felt actually useful to say. not just performative or venting or railing.  i have a political perspective. i harbor, from my own direct witness, conviction, beliefs and thoughts about what should happen and above all, what should never, ever have taken place and should not ever again. i feel unshakably clear.


i may open a space for genuine inquiry. i am not cowed by shaming or name-calling and don’t take cover in righteousness. i recognize the weaponization of grief, fear, rage and helplessness, not to mention generational and ancestral trauma. i also see and call Domination by all its names.

for now, i’m allowing my heartbreak so that i do not want to break the world.

this, more than anything, would be unspeakable.‘ (from her newsletter)
