Give me the names for things, just give me their real names, Not what we call them, but what They call themselves when no one’s listening–

Charles Wright, from “The Writing Life” in Appalachia (via wethinkwedream)

[eco-socialism]

Be conscious of all the interconnected layers in the economy. Capitalism not only overworks and dehumanizes us, it also prevents us from consuming ethically. We need to find a new way to work, grow, and consume. (This isn’t to suggest that “ethical consumerism” will solve these problems — that tactic is classist and individualist to a fault, and it throws vast scores of the population (who have few, if any, other options) under the bus. But it IS a crucial recognition that exploitation and violence are interwoven into all layers of the capitalist economy. Local solidarity for community gardens and food drives can help lighten present burdens and give us a prefigurative window into food production beyond capitalism. Try to live out the politics as best you can, but your blame should always be on the right sources: on the broader system and the elites who maintain it, not on the struggling families who buy Tyson chicken or Nestlé products.)

A movie about Viola Davis because her life deserves to be known

“The only picture I have of my childhood is the picture of me in kindergarten, I have this expression on my face — it’s not a smile, it’s not a frown. I swear to you, that’s the girl who wakes up in the morning and who looks around her house and her life saying, ‘I cannot believe how God has blessed me.’ “ 

“I would jump in trash bins with maggots looking for food, and I would steal from the corner store because I was hungry, I never had any kids come to my house because my house was a condemned building, it was boarded up, it was infested with rats. I was one of those kids who were poor and knew it.” 

“I was the kind of poor where I knew right away I had less than everyone around me. We had nothing, I cannot believe my life, I just can’t, I’m so blessed. I would jump in trash bins with maggots looking for food, and I would steal from the corner store because I was hungry, I never had any kids come to my house because my house was a condemned building, it was boarded up, it was infested with rats. I was one of those kids who were poor and knew it.”

“It became a motivation as opposed to something else — the thing about poverty is that it starts affecting your mind and your spirit because people don’t see you, I chose from a very young age that I didn’t want that for my life. And it very much has helped me appreciate and value the things that are in my life now because I never had it. A yard, a house, great plumbing, a full refrigerator, things that people take for granted, I don’t.”

“I first envisioned myself as an actor after I watched Cicely Tyson in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman when I was a child.”

“It wasn’t until then that I had a visual manifestation of the target I wanted to hit, It also gave me hope for the future and a different life for myself, she helped me have a very specific drive of how I was going to crawl, walk, run from that environment.”

“I became an artist, and thank God I did, because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life,”
