"I simply do not believe that one aspect of myself can possibly profit from the oppression of any other part of my identity. I know that my people cannot possibly profit from the oppression of any other group which seeks the right to peaceful existence. Rather, we diminish ourselves by denying to others what we have shed blood to obtain for our children. And those children need to learn that they do not have to become like each other in order to work together for a future they will all share.

Within the lesbian community I am Black, and within the Black community I am a lesbian. Any attack against Black people is a lesbian and gay issue, because I and thousands of other Black women are part of the lesbian community. Any attack against lesbians and gays is a Black issue, because thousands of lesbians and gay men are Black. There is no hierarchy of oppression.

I cannot afford the luxury of fighting one form of oppression only. I cannot afford to believe that freedom from intolerance is the right of only one particular group. And I cannot afford to choose between the fronts upon which I must battle these forces of discrimination, .wherever they appear to destroy me. And when they appear to destroy me, it will not be long before they appear to destroy you."

-- Audre Lorde | From Homophobia and Education (New York: Council on Interracial Books for Children, 1983)

 

The quote above basically describes 'intersectionality'.

If you're American, your liberal dad probably grew up listening to these guys:

Had no idea this band was Green.

(Actually a pretty healthy, well-rounded version of it too).

Here's how I can tell:

• Anti-war messaging (eg, Orange Crush [Vietnam] and I wanted to be wrong [Iraq])
• Creating songs intuitively
• Channeling their feelings
• Playing from the heart
• Hippy AF set

This interview holds a lot of beauty.

Shows their maturity and the lessons of lasting friendship:

Notice how in the interview, each one of them is trying to distribute credit or credence to the rest. Very non-hierarchical.

Personally learned a shit-load by listening to and studying these guys.

This is what I love about Stage Green. I wish there were more people similar to him around the world, especially in my vicinity. But such goodness is too rare to exist in real life.

Vegan activists peak stage green 

I was vegan for about 2 months years ago and I couldn’t do it financially and mentally anymore.

I think I’ll give it a go when I have a more stable financial situation. Meat substitutes and lab grown meat are starting to be pretty legit.

I actually had these vegan attacks when eating meat while high on weed a couple years back and starting feeling visceral pain when eating meatballs. I vaped a lot of nicotine to intentionally lower my state of consciousness and I think it worked it went away. 
 

My empathy is growing again though so I think it’s gonna soon be time to come back and finish that loop.
