Light in the Dark: Hopeful Wanderings

I made this blog when I was getting ready to break up with someone and needed to 'discover myself' once more. Hopefully it will continue just as my media consumption blog.

This is now a movie and TV blog. Maybe books too, have not decided. This was a break up blog. So two relationships later it is now a media blog

SAT JAN 28 - ASAP (ALL DAY) or at 6 PM

Emergency JFK Immigration Detention Protest

JFK Airport Terminal 4, International Arrivals

Holocaust Remembrance Day was Friday and today Trump’s racist executive actions have already resulted in people being detained at JFK (without access to their legal representation) because of their religion. Let’s put action behind words and meet at JFK at 6PM to protest the detentions. NO BAN, NO WALL, SANCTUARY FOR ALL! We know there are many folks that are heading straight to Terminal 4 right now. We are working with community organizations to arrange for peaceful demonstrations throughout the day culminating with a havdalah ritual lead by Rabbi Rachel Grant Meyer at 6PM. Speakers to follow.

Emotional labor is often invisible to men because a lot of it happens out of their sight. 

Emotional labor is when my friends and I carefully coordinate to make sure that nobody who’s invited to the party has drama with anyone else at the party, and then everyone comes and has a great time and has no idea how much thought went into it.

Emotional labor is when I have to cope, again, with the distress I feel at having to clean myself in a dirty bathroom or cook my food in a dirty kitchen because my male roommate didn’t think it was important to clean up his messes.

Emotional labor is having to start the 100th conversation with my male roommate about how I need my living space to be cleaner. 

Emotional labor is reminding my male roommate the next day that he agreed to clean up his mess but still hasn’t. 

Emotional labor is reassuring him that it’s okay, I’m not mad, I understand that he’s had a very busy stressful week.

“Emotional labor is not telling him that I’ve had a very busy stressful week, too, and his fucking mess made it even worse.”

Fucking this. 

Also, 

“Emotional labor is managing my male partners’ feelings around how often we have sex, and soothing their disappointment when they expected to have sex (even though I never said we would) and then didn’t, and explaining why I didn’t want to have sex this time, and making sure we “at least cuddle a little before bed” even though after all of this, to be quite honest, the last thing I fucking want is to touch him.”

Definitely happened in a relationship that went bad. I will always regret how I dragged it out and caused more suffering, but this was a part of the dynamic. I wish I had been able to communicate better and been strong enough to end things when they needed to end.

Emotional labor is being cheated on and me working on trusting him again with no help from him (him not actively working on earning my trust again, just feeling entitled to it) Its me soothing him when I have anxiety about trusting him because it hurts that 4 months after finding out about MORE lies I still struggle with trusting him

This is important not only in speaking about issues but also in personal relationships. Derailment tactics such as asking for proof of opinion or dismissing you for appearing emotional and unreasonable are abusive and can appear insidiously in relationships. Thank you @lavendersisterhood for making this.

no, no, it's not all random, if it really was all random, the universe would abandon us completely. and the universe doesn't. it takes care of its most fragile creations in ways we can't see. like with parents who adore you blindly. and a big sister who feels guilty for being human over you. and a little gravelly-voiced kid whose friends have left him over you. and even a pink-haired girl who carries your picture in her wallet. maybe it is a lottery, but the universe makes it all even out in the end. the universe takes care of all its bird.

‘"Ain’t no bitches gonna hunt no ghosts” was the movie’s way of saying “consider [the online misogyny] addressed.” And at least in my screening, it worked. Not only was it funny, it also returned a lightness and swagger to the film. That’s when we knew we could laugh about everything that had been happening; that this Ghostbusters ain’t afraid of no bros.’ [x]
