Don’t forget that in the past you had fucked up views and had soaked up oppressive ideology, including self directed and that you’ve said things or possibly even did things based on those views.

Don’t forget that it’s a constant lifelong process to defeat that in yourself and that you aren’t done yet, any more than anyone else.

Don’t lose sight of your issues, past or present or future because you think you’ve become ideologically pure. Avoid the trap of self righteousness and hypocrisy

Please don’t lose perspective. It’s important.

The long-distance poetry project @projecttoolbox and I were working on got published in @inkbrick no.5! Lovely @projecttoolbox wrote a lovelier haiku and after many emails, texts and insults later, 6 pages of hand-crafted goodness was born. All pages are vertically sequential and 98% handmade. Lots of foliage-fresh and dried, ice, gravel, rocks, inks, rabbit x-rays, hand-cut/hand-drawn letters, were harmed in making this. @inkbrick is a micro-press dedicated to comics poetry. They publish a journal, also called INK BRICK, which appears twice a year in the spring and fall. Get Ink Brick no.5 here: http://inkbrick.storenvy.com/products/17075547-ink-brick-no-5

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen.
