Society needs to stop blaming men for failure in marriage and admit that WOMEN have deemed it in appropriate for today’s times - even though they’re constantly complaining their not happy because they don’t have it. On recent trips, all I’ve been getting is a negative, RACIAL slant, to this argument and I’ve had ENOUGH of it!

Reposted from @nmaahc #Author, #feminist, #critic, #activist and #scholar bell hooks was born #OnThisDay [September 25] in 1952.

Born Gloria Jean Watkins to working-class parents in 1952, hooks grew up in the segregated city of Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Her interest in poetry began at a young age as she recited the likes of Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes and Elizabeth Barrett Browning for her church community.

hooks received her bachelor’s degree from Stanford University and was only 19 when she began working on the draft for her first book, “Ain’t I a Woman: Black Women and Feminism.”

She would eventually publish more than 40 books and receive the National Book Award for Fiction and the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. In her book, “Remembered Rapture: The Writer at Work,” hooks writes, “Writing is my passion. It is a way to experience the ecstatic. The root understanding of the word ecstasy— 'to stand outside'—comes to me in those moments when I am immersed so deeply in the act of thinking and writing that everything else, even flesh, falls away.” Her most notable works, including, “Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom” and “All About Love: New Visions”, influenced generations of feminists, educators and artists to approach their work with love and purposefulness.

Her published works were diverse and ranged from scholarly books to films to children’s books and more. hooks, who passed away in 2021 is remembered as a force in feminist theory and in cultural criticism and continues to inspire a multitude of Black and women writers.

via • @reparationsfund Reposted from @sarahofmagdalene “We honor bell hooks by recommitting ourselves to her instructions for the feminist movement: // bell hooks told us, feminism must center the needs of Black women and others who are most oppressed by society and culture. We must commit to finding solutions for people of all genders. Our movement must reject a fear-based scarcity mindset of white supremacy that tries to fool us into seeing a limited number of seats at the table, that tries to divide us with the lie that we must choose our battles. bell hooks taught us, we must do our work with the recognition that sexism, racism, homophobia, and all forms of oppression overlap to create women’s daily experiences of economic insecurity, gender-based violence, professional and creative stifling, and the devaluing of our lives and contributions. All forms of oppression have joined forces to keep us down, so we too must all join forces to achieve true freedom. bell hooks showed us, love must drive our movement — our goals, our priorities, and how we do our work. We cannot reject love as feminism’s cornerstone because we are afraid we won’t be taken seriously. In a culture that tries to convince us love has no value outside the home, rejecting love as our movement’s North Star means conceding to the very forces that oppress us in the first place. bell hooks reminded us, the love that leads our movement for change must include self-love, the most radical exercise of anti-oppression a woman can practice.” Hess Eagle of Equal Rights Advocates @equalrightsadv #bellhooks #blackfeminists https://www.instagram.com/p/ChrFLgXu6sk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Blue Lagoon in Iceland... That moon. "The aquamarine colored geothermal water originates 2,000 metres below the surface, where freshwater and seawater combine at extreme temperatures. It is then harnessed via drilling holes at a nearby geothermal power plant, Svartsengi, to create electricity and hot water for nearby communities. The water temperature is generally between 37-40°C (98-104°F).The lagoon contains 9 million litres of water.The water is self-cleansing – it renews itself every 40 hours.Blue Lagoon is mostly ca. 0.8-1.2 metres deep. Its deepest point is 1.4 meters. The geothermal water has a unique composition, featuring three active ingredients – Silica, Algae & Minerals. The blue colour comes from the silica and the way it reflects sunlight. During summer there can also be a hint of green in the water. This is the result of the algae, which multiplies quickly when exposed to direct sunlight." - BlueLagoon.com Iceland homes and communities are 98% heated by geothermal energy. It's also built on a volcano that is set to erupt at anytime. Travel insurance? Check. After bathing in its unique waters, milky with silica mud those with skin conditions and exzema have noticed great improvement to their skin. The water is pretty soft in general on the skin and of course the drinking water is some of the best in the world.

😡#NYC #AbortionRightsRally Today 6.24, #WashingtonSquarePark, 6:30PM & #UnionSquare, 8:00PM.

Reposted from @mvmnt4blklives Today, the #SupremeCourt has overturned #RoevWade, opening the door to statewide bans that will harm Black people disproportionately. #Reproductivejustice is central to #Blackliberation, and any limit on #abortionaccess disproportionately harms Black women, girls, transgender, and gender non-conforming people.

Black women, girls, transgender, and gender non-conforming people have been subjected to a long history of reproductive control rooted in the brutal legacy of enslavement, and denying access to safe, legal abortion services is a continuation of that troubling history. Self-determination is a key pillar of #Blackpower: the right to maintain our bodily autonomy and make decisions about our families – to have children, to not have children, and to parent the children we already have safely – is essential to our #freedom.

Ultimately, our freedom comes from the movements we build, not courts. And as a Black liberation movement guided by #Blackfeminist values and committed to abolition, we see the fall of Roe for what it is: another avenue for the state to criminalize and harm the most vulnerable among us. The fall of Roe is painful, but now is a time to stay vigilant and engaged. We have tools at our disposal to resist. Get involved with and donate to your local abortion fund at m4bl.link/AbortionFund and follow the lead of organizations like @blackfeministfuture , @sistersong_woc, @newvoicesrj, and @harrietsdreams to get involved in actions near you.

via @kadiatoutubman Patriarchy, like any system of dominance, dictates and regulates which behaviors, beliefs, and standards are acceptable, appropriate, and worthy. And those behvaiors, beliefs, and standards must always, all-ways, uphold and reinforce the power of the dominant group and maintain a social order. 😪 That is what scares folks (of all genders) to see a Black women and MaGes (marginalized genders) like @chloebailey enjoy/own/profit from their sexuality and body autonomy. Some are afraid of us and some are afraid for us. I was afraid for Chloe because I recognized that what she was doing directly (and publicly) challenged power, control, and dominance, which is always met with violence, repression, and policing from both men and women (see my previous post called "How 'Protect Black Women' Can Be Problematic" for a primer). It can't just be "Protect Black Women." It's also "Abolish the Patriarchy/Misogyny." So, to all the Black women folks, Trans folks, gender nonconforming folks, sex worker folks, marginalized folks, they will not bury us. Do you, boo, do you. #freedomfromshame #bodyautonomy #liberation #abolition #blacklivesmatter #smashthepatriarchy #blackwomenmatter #protectblackwomen #feminism #black #women #blackfeministfuture #transliberation #freedomfromfear #selfpreservation #decisionsdecisions #mypower #radicalselflove #radicalselfacceptance #selflove #blackwomenhealing #blackfeminist #blackfeminism #abolition https://www.instagram.com/p/ClHalhpvIOS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#MiMadreDecía todo LAMBON es traicionero.

En la vida pública y privada uno debe ser agradecido, la gratitud forma parte de las relaciones humanas. Pero tener claro que existen deslumbramientos qué alimentan el ego de una mente frágil, ahí cala con facilidad las relaciones más deshonestas.

AAl final del día una de las cosas que agradezco a mi madre y mi padre es el haberme enraizado.
