    1710 || bell hooks || men aren't the enemy

    "By highlighting psychological patriarchy, we see that everyone is implicated and we are freed from the misperception that men are the enemy. To end patriarchy we must challenge both its psychological and its concrete manifestations in daily life.  To end male pain, to respond effectively to male crisis, we have to name the problem. We have to both acknowledge that the problem is patriarchy and work to end patriarchy. Terrence Real offers this valuable insight: “The reclamation of wholeness is a process even more fraught for men than it has been for women, more difcult and more profoundly threatening to the culture at large.” If men are to reclaim the essential goodness of male being, if they are to regain the space of openheartedness and emotional expressiveness that is the foundation of well-being, we must envision alternatives to patriarchal masculinity. We must all change." - bell hooks Read the bell hooks work: understanding patriarchy. Read Julie's Medium Blog. Support JULIE (and the show!) Support + get some bonus stuff over on PATREON.

    1709 || bell hooks || patriarchy isn't funny

    "No one has ever explained why accurately naming this system is funny. The laughter is itself a weapon of patriarchal terrorism. It functions as a disclaimer, discounting the significance of what is being named. It suggests that the words themselves are problematic and not the system they describe." - bell hooks Read the bell hooks work: understanding patriarchy. Read Julie's Medium Blog.

    1708 || bell hooks on understanding patriarchy

    Patriarchy is the single most life-threatening social disease assaulting the male body and spirit in our nation. Yet most men do not use the word “patriarchy” in everyday life. - bell hooks By highlighting psychological patriarchy, we see that everyone is implicated and we are freed from the misperception that men are the enemy.

    1707 || stop assuming "it" is inevitable

    There is a tendency to think that what we see in the present moment will continue. We forget how often we have been astonished by the sudden crumbling of institutions, by extraordinary changes in people’s thoughts, by unexpected eruptions of rebellion against tyrannies, by the quick collapse of systems of power that seemed invincible. What leaps out from the history of the past hundred years is its utter unpredictability.  - Howard Zinn Rebecca Solnit's blog + newsletter: https://www.meditationsinanemergency.com/ Rebecca Solnit's Books: https://www.rebeccasolnit.net/books.html Donate to the Palestinian Children's Relief Fund and the Sudan Relief Fund Read Julie's Medium Blog.

    The source: Feel your feelings "This zine is all about why it’s important to cultivate the capacity to stay with our feelings, and how we can go about doing that. Hopefully working through the zine will help you to figure out your own emotional landscape (which feelings you tend to prefer, and which you tend to avoid). It’ll also give you several possible practices for learning to stay with your feelings. Different things work for different people so it’s all about figuring out what works best for you."
