#justice | When someone acted against community, instead of flooding them with our attention, we pulled collective attention away from them, while a healer would move in and give attention to that someone’s root system, supporting wholeness. We learned what forgiveness lets us release, and how to use time to heal that which feels too painful to forgive. We turned to look back at our traumas and understand how they shaped us. We created more room for the traumas of other people, for the weight of ancestral trauma. We practiced deep patience with each other. We created boundaries around our joy, around our love, around our children. Only offers of love could be felt, seen, heard, inhaled, and tasted.

#justice | Shame is different than guilt. While guilt focuses on our behavior (“I did something bad”), shame creates an identity: “I am bad.” Shame keeps us stuck, isolated, and hiding. With no way to escape from the totality of our belief (“I just am wrong”), we may do some of the following: hide what we feel is bad about ourselves and try hard to pass as “good.” overcompensate in other parts of life through overwork, caretaking, or perfectionism to make up for whatever is “wrong” about us. defend ourselves from any insinuation that we might have done wrong, attempt to rationalize, or justify our actions. blame someone else, try to divert responsibility, or shift the focus onto another. attack anyone who draws attention toward the source of our shame, try to have power by dominating or shaming others. numb through self-harming use of alcohol, substances, food, sex, technology, and so on. Most of us use all of these strategies in different moments. Overaccountability and underaccountability are two sides of the same coin: “I can’t stand how bad I feel and can’t imagine making it right (overaccountability) so I’m going to hide that it (whatever it is) even happened, or lie about it or blame someone else (underaccountability).”]

The OK Karen (36): Maybe they just hate women

#justice | But this is the thing that gets to me. I have this theory about what drives the misogyny of incels and the Taliban and a million other movements that seek to destroy (but never fully kill off) half the human race. They’re all, like, connected. Here is my big idea: they just hate women. That’s it. I know. It sounds tautologous. There ought to be something else underpinning the misogyny bit of their thinking, right? Well, no. I don’t think there is and to be honest, I’m sick of women not being considered important enough for hatred of us to centre us. It’s as though we’re too lowly even to be the subjects of our own oppression. Misogyny is constantly positioned as though it’s an expression of something else, a mere shadow projection of some deeper, more significant hatred that targets the real people, the men.

The bus says Belén - by Antonio García Martínez - The Pull Request

#justice | Thinking White Privilege is the center of American ethnic existence is the Whitest thing in the world, even if you manage to recruit a few non-Whites as window dressing along the way. How flattering it must be, even if in a backhanded way, to think yourself the motive force of society: we all really want to be cast as the villain in the movie.

Resmaa Menakem — 'Notice the Rage; Notice the Silence' | The On Being Project - The On Being Project

#justice #race | Across the past year, and now as the murder trial of Derek Chauvin unfolds with Minneapolis in fresh pain and turmoil, we return again to the grounding insights of Resmaa Menakem. He is a Minneapolis-based therapist and trauma specialist who activates the wisdom of elders, and very new science, about how all of us carry in our bodies the history and traumas behind everything we collapse into the word “race.” We offer up his intelligence on changing ourselves at a cellular level — practices towards the transformed reality most of us long to inhabit.
