I see a lot of connections between folk and punk music just because they're both subcorporate music - I mean, traditionally.

Image
Feminism is not only for women It's something everyone can participate in, and evolve together, as the first step in the right direction. I see feminism as a tool to achieve that balance and peace.

Mostly, I stay out of social media conversations. But sometimes, they hunt me down and shoot at me anyway!

Image
When I look down, I miss all the good stuff And when I look up, I just trip over things.

There's this brutal imperial power, that my passport says I represent. But it will never represent where my heart lives, only vaguely where it went.

We get a little further from perfection, each year on the road, I guess that's what they call character, I guess that's just the way it goes, better to be dusty than polished, like some store window mannequin, why don't you touch me where i'm rusty, let me stain your hands

I did a lot of work with myself over the course of being pregnant and the first few months of being pregnant. It's nice, the pace of being pregnant it gives you a long time to not just germinate a baby but germinate the mother that you're gonna be.

Who says I like right angles? These are not my laws, these are not my rules.

I turned my pain into art and my hard work into a career. Helping myself has helped others. helping others has helped me.

My mother was a feminist, and she gave me some tools of self-possession and self-empowerment, but now that I have lived here for forty-three years, it's, like, whoa, there is just so much more to do, other than become myself. I'm still talking about it. I still drop the P-word, patriarchy, on unsuspecting people in everyday conversations.

Some people wear their heart up on their sleeve. I wear mine underneath my right pant leg, strapped to my boot.

All the decent people, male and female, are feminists. The only people who are not feminists are those who believe that women are inherently inferior or undeserving of the respect and opportunity afforded men. Either you are a feminist or you are a misogynist. There is no box marked other.

If a politician is running in your local community who's pro-choice, who's feminist in their thinking, get behind them. Send them some money! If you have no money but have time, lick stamps!

And this vague little smile is my all purpose expression the meaning of which I will leave to your discretion.

and god help you if you are an ugly girl course too pretty is also your doom cause everyone harbors a secret hatred for the prettiest girl in the room and god help you if you are a pheonix and you dare to rise up from the ash a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy while you are just flying back
