moonroot folks doing some zine assembling for the pdx woc zine symposium!
Whenever Jean and I talk about ice cream, Jean can’t stop herself from quoting this scene from Forrest Gump.
“I’ve been talking a lot recently about lenses. Most of us have a lens or two through which we look at the world. Mine are race and gender. I developed those two lenses almost simultaneously and early in my political life. For others, the first lens might be gender or sexuality. A lens isn’t the same thing as your identity, but your identity can certainly influence your lens. The essential work of building unity across difference is to be able to see through someone else’s lens, and prioritize working through that lens for a substantial period of time.”

Post
– a poem from my womb
slow churning this cavern of blood
ache and tremble these walls
causing great waves of
fury salt heat
as if my heart has sunk
into the grave of my hips
I rise crash break
I am overcome washed over red
thick pulse of a brushfire charred earth
still pumping hot
