Black and white thinking.
Medieval ideologies of humans as innately bad - needing control and stricture less she/he will run riot. No brain power for incremental steps to recovery, no room for multifaceted issues, no patience for a blameless outcome.
It is either / or thinking that creates and sustains conflict in personal relationships and worldwide. There cannot be resolution without care and understanding on two sides. There cannot be understanding without trust. Violence begets violence and the cycle continues to destroy that trust and keep us all feeling we are innately aggressive and must buy guns to stop guns,
Deep in the heart of all this pitching one thing in opposition to another is our generally reactionary relationship to change. Because change feels unstable and so we polarise ourselves to avoid it. Change may lead to the unknown and so to death and we must avoid the end at all costs - at what cost? At ALL costs? We must avoid death via death? Not so clever.
Well, what if change can be seen as opportunity to learn. What if I can listen/call for change not knowing if I'm right - not knowing the future outcome? Will it be the end of something? Will it mean the end of me? Maybe even my death is the end of something, a change, the start of something new and another opportunity to learn.
Tattoos on the cards. Re logging this for the combination white and black
love this video and the track is really growing on me. it has my gorgeous friend Sonya Cullingford in it moving her brilliant dancers body. Such an effective video by Riff Raff. Will be looking out for their stuff from now on.

Expressing anger freely and publicly as a woman is a political act so turn those amps up and grab the mic
This is just important so I’m posting it. Especially right now, so fucking angry with UK and how fascist we are becoming. Must do more.
It is true that I love Arthur. But we have all known that for some time — haven’t we? — I shall love him always. He is something to me that nobody else is. But why should that trouble you, Hal? Don’t you love him, too? Don’t you love several people? — If you loved me, I should not want you to love only me. I should think less highly of you if you did. For surely, one must be either undiscerning, or frightened, to love only one person, when the world is so full of gracious and noble spirits.

This is something that Tom found and shared to me. This resounded strongly for me and my reasons for looking beyond monogamy as the norm relationship style. I love how she talks about how the real attributes of fulfilling love do not necessarily lead to a monogamous relationship style. It's also a great piece for anyone who has become interested in how our intimate relationships can act as microcosmic reflections/actions into the wider society and are equally vulnerable to being influenced it. The link between monogamy and capitalism, poly/abundant forms and more communal politics. V v interesting.
This is like crack to me. I have no idea what’s happening but I love it
Who says?
Went to see an awesome show by Massive Attack and Young fathers on Friday. Lots of images of the refugee crisis by a photographer they've been working with book ended the show, a barrage of statistics and statements about the state of the world ran throughout...it was hard hitting and took the audience on a pretty emotional journey. A bit too hard hitting for some people who I chatted to afterwards, but I personally found it extremely refreshing to see a big gig setting being used as a political platform - there is a lot of power in that unity of big audiences and emotionally transformative music. From a couple of the negative comments I overheard it felt like people weren't used to having the society they belong to challenged on a Friday night out, which I can sympathise with but didn't empathise with. I think it could be a great thing if the general public weren't so depressed by knowledge of the difficulties in the world we are responsible for and could hear and see it and determine to engage with it without being 'sunk' and responding angrily to those unnerving feelings of guilt and fear. And that comes with a bit of resilience - a resilience I don't think English audiences have right now. Or perhaps that's asking too much of fragile humans in general - who knows what everyone in the audience had been dealing with that week. My final response to that was : well if you want mindless dancing then go to a rave not to a Massive Attack and Young Fathers gig - both bands well known for being politically overt. Some laughs in there too though as well as great musicianship though I do find it a bit dull and dated musically at times. Contrasting news of Kim Kardashian's arse with terrifying war headlines was a stroke of genius. I'd last seen MA in a huge aeroplane bunker at Sonar festival in Barcelona and the visuals were similar. But this time I was a bit more sober and was just as, if not more, astounded by the time, effort and artistry put into their set not to mention the sheer boldness of their political approach. The most incredible moment for myself and Alice, however, was not the bluntly written statements or the use of horrific statistics or the copy taken from transcripts of soldiers about to fire strikes at targets (excruciating to read). It came nearly half way into their set. The LED screens silhouetting the band began to show noughts and ones in sequences that whirred faster and faster making you feel like you were watching the atoms of the world in digital form (this reminded me a lot of Adam Curtis' "All watched over by machines of love and grace" doc series) an insurmountable chaos of potential patterns surging through you alongside the bands delivery of heavy bass, synths, and melancholic melodies delivering brilliantly on point lyrics. Suddenly at the peak of this the circles and stripes disintegrated into just a few white noughts and a single laser that shone out of the blackness like a starry night - returning the audience to a sense of calm and hope, the peace intrinsic in that symbol of nature and also the simplicity of the single pin pointed line reaching out to individuals in the audience bringing us all back to ourselves and the power of one.
Coming from a family of elbow grease, high expectations and high anxiety this is really good to listen to over and over. My brother Matthew sent this to me.
An incredible description of our worlds current devastating crisis from the perspective of one volunteer in lesvos. Brilliantly written too. Please let us do more. He says no one can help everyone but everyone can help someone.

Carl Jung once observed that apathy is a defense mechanism to anger. Anger is a memorable and often traumatic emotional experience. When we can’t see a way to solve what is making us angry, a maladaptive coping strategy can sometimes be to internalize that anger.
