I feel really confident saying this: if you're on this email list, then you have a strong sense of justice. Maybe you've lived a life of being Othered: because of your race, sexuality, gender, interests. Maybe you haven't, but your blood boils thinking of others who have. I make no secret of the fact that my personal politics are very left of center. The Democratic party is no friend of mine, and liberalism isn't enough for me. I'm too much of a Libra to commit to being a full-blown socialist, but I'm a huge fan of Black Socialists in America. If you're on Twitter, you should follow them, and if you listen to podcasts you need to add theirs to your roster. It's called 1000 Cuts, and they're not just bringing you political analysis and bitching about capitalism. They're discussing ways to remove hierarchy from personal relationships. They're bringing mental health support from a certified professional in the form of guided meditations and breathing strategies to get out of elevated stress responses. White supremacy and capitalism work together to get in our heads - we must cast it down and out of us internally before trying to do it outwardly. LISTEN.

It's officially a lost cause. Not saying I'm giving up on losing this excess weight, but in the meantime, I'm no longer interested in using these shorts as a barometer, ya know? I bought these from American Apparel back in my 20s, and honestly, I still love these. I wore these to raves, beach days, a Peaches concert, on an additional date with that composer I was swooning over. These are some traveling shorts, and I'm no longer the woman I was when I was wearing them. Time for them to travel on to someone else, so I've added them to my Closet collection.
