“I had a chance to read a copy of The Well of Loneliness that had been translated into Polish before I was taken into the camps. I was a young girl at the time, around twelve or thirteen, and one of the ways I survived in the camp was by remembering that book. I wanted to live long enough to kiss a woman.”

A Jewish woman, in a conversation at the Lesbian Herstory Archives, quoted by Joan Nestle, in the Lesbian Herstory Archives Newsletter, June 1992 via the amazing dykesanddykery (via friendlyangryfeminist)

USA. California. Oakland. 1973. Leonard Colar helping a woman with her shopping as part of the Black Panther Senior Escort program.

The program was just one of many programs the Panthers ran to address the needs of the poor and disadvantaged. In fact, they developed more than 60 Serve the People programs, including efforts to provide free clothing and shoes, medical services —including drug and alcohol awareness, —legal aid education, and what was thought to be some of the first true early childhood education programs in the nation, preceding Head Start.

Emotional labor is probably not the best framework for discussing the work that goes into interpersonal relationships where mutual care and respect exists and where you help each other meet needs that could otherwise go unmet

[lavenderstereo]

And by probably not the best I mean like probably promotes neoliberal individualism in a way that directly harms community building and can actually make it harder to talk about coercive forms of emotional/affective labor inherent in many pink collar jobs and work that women do. As well as like inhibiting openness and community building while providing a “radical” justification for not caring about people.

Like it’s not “emotional labor,” in the same sense as stuff I do for work, when I spend time talking to a man asking for money on the sidewalk and basically treat him like a human being rather than like an undesirable part of the landscape. And for me to ignore him like many other passerby isn’t me being radical and avoiding coercive emotional labor it’s using “feminism” to justify being an ass in the exact way that society encourages.

And there’s so many other examples, treating people like human beings and expecting others to treat you like a human being isn’t unreasonable and even if it happens to fall under emotional labor it’s not inherently a bad thing to do, even if it’s something that men (and privileged people broadly) frequently neglect to do.
