I long hesitated to launch a Patreon but last week I finally did. And I also became a patron to support the work of creators I stand in solidarity with.

These are times when we support each other.

When you support my work, you get weekly book reviews

I also post about art that I love and the ways it has inspired my work.

Last week I posted about Palestinian artist Mona Hatoum’s installation Home.

To see this, support my work via Patreon!

hesitated to launch a Patreon because I know funds are limited and not everyone has a credit card/PayPal etc.

You can support my work for as little as $2 per month.

Thank you for supporting my writing & FEMINIST GIANT Dispatches!

“I write to record what others erase when I speak,” Gloria Anzaldúa
“Writing is dangerous because we are afraid of what the writing reveals: the fears, the angers, the strengths of a woman under a triple or quadruple oppression,” Gloria Anzaldúa
“Yet in that very act lies our survival because a woman who writes has power. And a woman with power is feared...I have never seen so much power in the ability to move and transform others as from that of the writing of women of color,” Gloria Anzaldúa, 1980.

In my latest book #7NecessarySins for Women and Girls, the chapter on the “sin” of violence frightens people. I’m told: “Violence begets violence!” What do centuries of male violence vs women beget?

On misogynist violence and #COVID19
🎥 @rerutled

Here are the opening pages of that chapter. My book came out in Sept. 2019.

The disturbing scenarios I draw and the disturbing questions I ask in FEMINIST GIANT Dispatch ☝🏽are even more pertinent now under #COVID19 lockdown.

#7NecessarySins
People get more upset at my questions about imaginary violence vs men than they are at the REAL and DAILY violence vs women, queer people, children.

Remember this as we hear stories of women having to choose: a deadly virus outside, an abuser inside. #COVID19

How many abusive men must we kill until men stop abusing us?

My question about imaginary violence vs men upsets more the REAL & DAILY violence vs women, queer people, children.

A deadly virus outside, an abuser inside. #COVID19

🎥 @rerutled
The only form of “resistance” women are allowed to consider is anger - and even that is considered so beyond the beyond that entire books are written about it. Still - book after book is written about “women’s anger.”

FUCK THAT SHIT
