This morning I grieve for us all. Spending time in silence and honoring my grief at present .. As an advocate/activist for the LGBTQ+ community and the mother of a transgender daughter I honor their grief as well. In my meditation this morning ,I will wrap my arms around all of our beautiful young trans people and their families. And yes the fight carries on.
White women are the worst. Forever and ever amen. Protect yourself, find comfort, you deserve everything good in this world. I'm sorry we let you down. Again.
Thank you for this post and for yesterday's. I'm here to tell you two things.
1. I had a very specific dream about you, like we were friends IRL. You were stopping by to drop off some poetry magazines that you also happened to be on the cover of. I was thrilled for you and so happy to know you and have your in-person energy in my life.
2. I wanted to make sure you were aware of baby Haggis, the new pygmy hippo born in Edinburgh :)
And, yes, I realize this response seemed like I’m not addressing the issue at hand. But I am and will. I am breathing and seething and am confounded by this result. I am looking for joy and readying to create.
Thank you. My adhd ass needed a deadline for these feelings. You've been a light in all this.
Saeed,

Thank you for this. The Dorianne Laux poem you shared on Vibe Check ("In Any Event") has kept me going all these weeks, and it will continue to do so.
I ain’t getting out this bed no time soon.
All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Getting this in my inbox made me feel grounded.
Love your positivity served with a side of gravity and another side of reality.
This is what I just told
my family-we have 24 hours! I appreciate you creating a community and space for this. Then we rise up and fight.
🫂❤️ So very grateful to and for you. Thank you.
Thank you Saeed. yesterday's breathing and today's cue both gave me time to consider how to act next, beginning with writing and reading.
Saeed, your words have been a light through the last 24 hours and also a fire for the future work - thank you. I hope you're taking care of yourself.
