Many have the idea that to fight for asocial justice means attending protest rallies, conferences, or perhaps even tying yourself to the occasional tree. Where does that leave someone with disabilities who cannot participate in similar activities? Small actions can be just as vital as larger ones to creating change in society.

Communities of differences beset by injustice are often the first to identify the good spots of life, the waters that most take for granted.
That side of womyn of color is often not understood.
I am not a meeting the world with a bitter head, I see it head on, face up, and have joy.
I have joy.
So, if you want to better understand the lives of womyn of color, it is imperative to not only understand the pain, but to watch the joy.
Madonna/Whore
I only hurt myself. I lost out on a lot of my wants and needs, and things that make me enjoy sex even more. As much as a put myself off to be a non-romantic, I DO like kissed on my back and neck, and eating in bed, and watching movies together, and massages, and so on. But because I was so focused on getting her to peg me as a “whore,” I missed out on it.
Katrina Revisited
I'm reluctant to highlight just one anecdote from Robert Draper's GQ piece on Donald Rumsfeld, because there's an awful lot of information in the article that deserves to be read, but the story about Rumsfeld during the Hurricane Katrina crisis is remarkable.
As Draper explained, there were search-and-rescue helicopters available for New Orleans, but Rumsfeld refused to approve their deployment, despite the belief from the commander of Joint Task Force Katrina that they were needed.

RIP Octavia St. Laurent
whatsername says: I also got some rather depressing news regarding the Speak! show in New York. Now while I generally choose to feature local happenings, I was keeping my eye on this because I thought it was so cool. And apparently quite a lot of people who RSVPed didn't bother to come. That's just fucked up.
