I believe a unique core self is born into every human being the result of millennia of environment and heredity combined in an unpredictable way that could never happen before or again.

Everyone is unique and each experience is different.

For women... bras, panties, bathing suits, and other stereotypical gear are visual reminders of a commercial, idealized feminine image that our real and diverse female bodies can't possibly fit. Without these visual references, each individual woman's body demands to be accepted on its own terms. We stop being comparatives. We begin to be unique.

I continued for too long to do things that I already knew how to do, or to write stories that I was assigned instead of fighting for stories that I couldn't get, or doing ones that I thought were important on my own. The wasting of time is the thing I worry about the most. Because time is all there is.

We are literally linked in a circle, including with nature, as well as with other human beings. Old societies didn't have and still don't have he and she. They don't have gendered pronouns. They don't have a word for nature, because we're not separate from nature.

It's important that we recognize how extreme the Republicans are in almost every case and how against our self-interest it is to vote for them whether or not we are disappointed with the current crew. At least they believe in the Constitution. At least they have an idea of economic justice. The Republicans are devoted to creating more rich folks.
