#Repost @alexjenny_ • • • • • • Create #Repost @alexjenny_ • • • • • • Created this in response to everyone who blew up my inbox and comments with some variation of “I think I agree with what you’re saying, but I don’t agree with how you’re saying it.” Weaponizing white fragility masquerading as mental health concerns in response to my very direct feedback is not how you humbly listen for understanding. Gaslighting me and projecting things onto me that I never said or condoned is not listening for understanding. Also, there’s a moment of reckoning happening right now in the Chicago drag scene, led by Black drag performers, that I won’t speak to directly here, but I hope this is a helpful framework for everyone to encourage the dialogue to keep going and to not center our egos or self-interest. Feedback is a gift. Treat it accordingly.
Simple. I've been looking for the words for these Simple. I've been looking for the words for these concepts - thank you for creating this guide, @holidayphillips! If systemic racism is like the iceberg that's mostly hidden from view, then my work will mostly be about changing my own internal structures and trusting, step by step, that by my learning and growing, that my external expression will become different - and improved - and the world will turn, one degree at a time. #Repost @holidayphillips • • • • • • More and more people are awakening to the realities of racism and feeling inspired to become allies in the quest for racial justice. We are no doubt in a great awakening, and I am filled with hope and motivation to continue showing up and playing my part as an educator in the most honest and helpful ways I can. So this week I've created a guide of common things I'm seeing in the name of allyship that aren't, in my eyes, actually helpful and some suggestions on what you can do instead. ⁠ .⁠ As with everything I offer, this guide is not intended to blame or shame, if you recognise some of the behaviours in yourself. But a way to check yourself and navigate your allyship in a way that is most useful for black, indigenous and people of colour. We are all learning and the marker of our humanity is not how perfect we are, but how willing we are to see where we can be better and do the work 🌱🖤 .⁠ Language note: BIPOC = Black, Indigenous and People of Colour⁠ . ✨SHARING: if this is useful to you, please feel free to share! ✨
Language matters. Intention matters. Pay attention Language matters. Intention matters. Pay attention to how you and your circles use your words. As much as language is and has been a tool of oppression, so too must it become a tool of the revolution. Thank those who call you forth, and go forward. Thanks @rachel.cargle
My beloved POWERHOUSE of a mother just sent this t My beloved POWERHOUSE of a mother just sent this to me. Can I get an AMEN?! #Repost @sempimimi • • • • • • ❤️ FEEL GRATEFUL FRIDAY ❤️ Is that a thing? Well, we’re making it one! • It’s been a surreal few months for everyone. Being a small business owner is never easy but when times are tough, keeping motivation and energy levels high can be hard work. It’s at times like this that you realise how lucky you are to be surrounded by some amazing, supportive women. We here @sempimimi are forever grateful for these relationships because they have kept us afloat whilst we’ve been navigating the twists and turns of life recently (have tagged as many of these other #femaleentrepreneurs as is possible on this square - anyone missing, you know who you are!) • Now that we are feeling ready to get back in the saddle, we want to pay it forward. We’re here for any support, advice, wine-drinking and of course, EPIC JEWELS that you may need ❤️ • @mytribehk ❤️❤️❤️ • #sempimimi #statementjewellery #statementjewelry #semipreciousjewellery #semipreciousjewelry #jewellerydesigner #jewelrydesigner #quoteoftheday #instaquote #feelgoodfriday #feelgratefulfriday #women #womensupportingwomen #womenempowerment #womenempoweringwomen #girlpower #girlboss #womeninbusiness #lifeinthetimeofcovid19 #supportsmallbusiness #smallbusiness #supportsmall #payitforward
#WonderPlayOfTheDay: Approaching Discomfort . . Re #WonderPlayOfTheDay: Approaching Discomfort . . Relatable, amirite? From both perspectives, probably. 🤣 There are SO MANY things in the world that cause me discomfort, even if I know they're good for me, that I would rather not do. If I'm out here trying to stay comfortable, I'll run away every time. . . If I want to grow, though, I need to practice making friends with that discomfort, and keep approaching. One more time. Then another. . . One SUPER uncomfortable thing is putting myself out there in different ways. Like, at my own Virtual Salon last night, I didn't host myself - didn't invite myself share any of my own art... And I haven't invited people to my weekly workshops directly for a month or more... And I haven't directly asked for money in a form of payment OR donation from people attending my events... And before you know it, I've gathered plenty of "evidence" to support my mistaken belief that I don't matter. No wonder I would run away! I'm afraid of getting hurt. . . So then what? Remind myself that it's ok to get hurt. Approach. Do something different. Tell the person who called me that they're invited to my workshop... Go one step into the fear in a conversation about teaching for a studio and make an appointment with the owner... Take in the gratitude and appreciation expressed by my attendees... Consider how I want it to go differently in the future and create a plan to support me with my allies... and onward! Time to level up. . . Anybody from @wrightlivingchicago watch this and immediately hear @drjudithwright 's voice doing the exercises in Approach vs Avoid??? 😂😂😂 #wrightliving . . Another cosmic view I get is that "Karen" is "The Universe," and I am the husky... The Universe tries to give me a gift or teach me a lesson that would require me taking one, two, three more steps closer... and then I back away instead, a few more times. So, since I didn't get the gift/lesson on my time, then the Universe chases me down like YOU *WILL* GET THIS, IT IS *TIME* . . #avoid #approach #nextlevel

#WonderPlayOfTheDay: Play! #Repost -- full learnin #WonderPlayOfTheDay: Play! #Repost -- full learning process captured at @placeodiscovery . . I played so hard with my co-quarantine-mates yesterday. Some of it was curious and productive like this... later I played SO HARD at @mr.ladysmith 's HIIT workout (I'll be sore all of today at least)...and then we played too hard after game night such that it turned into a fight. But even our fight was a play and a dance, a space to open and listen and inch back towards each other. It's hard to explain, but we found grace and ease again, and I'm so grateful for the tools from Heart of the Fight. With them, everyone gets seen and heard, everyone gets responsible and complete, and we can get back to PLAY even faster. #wrightliving . . #Repost -- full learning process captured at @placeodiscovery • • • • • • Hello Social Media, It’s been a while. 😊 Thank you @jarrattrouse for the challenge that was too good to pass up! Thank you, @elizabethtuazon (aka @wonderplaycoaching, my housemate, “land mermaid”) for being my partner in learning and play! I have shared our final product and then our first through 4th attempts, if you wish to actually witness the learning and practicing which lead to the final product.

#WonderPlayOfTheDay: I Like To Practice! . . What #WonderPlayOfTheDay: I Like To Practice! . . What do I love about this practice? . . 1st video: because I wanted to see what a new maneuver looked like from the outside; it feels so cool on the inside! Plus, I can contrast where we are now with how far we've come AND how much better we are getting. So satisfying to celebrate progress. . . 2nd video: outtake-worthy. Plus, it illustrates how at-home art, creativity, and practice is SO COMFORTABLE the homestead, and that we love and appreciate each other. I don't exactly live in an artist commune, but I don't need to in order to feel like my creativity practice has a place. . . #tango #argentinetango @mr.ladysmith @t21dt @placeodiscovery @adelewilhelm @wrightliving #dogsofig #practice @buttittatony @lear.sharon @elizabethpabello

#WonderPlayOfTheDay: Voice. . . I was in a middle #WonderPlayOfTheDay: Voice. . . I was in a middle school classroom this morning, accompanying for a choral contest. I thought I took a photo of the bulletin board on VOICE in Mrs. Brashler's room that I found so inspiring, but apparently the photo didn't take... so, ironically (or is it coincidentally?), I will share it in my own words. . . Hold your voice as sacred, and use its power responsibly. Pour it forth so as to enrich and enliven, and also silence it so as to listen, hold space, and show care and respect when others are using their voices. Do each in the appropriate moment, and learn to discern which is which. Be thoughtful with how you use your voice, and lean towards uses that uplift, inspire, and ignite rather than attack, destroy, or defame. . . This message was transmuted through a filter for middle school understanding, but it struck me deeply. It pertains to art I make and observe, help I give and take, and my very presence and way of being in the world. I am using my voice in increasingly responsible ways. Thank you for witnessing me on that journey. . . @kmo2.00 @_billfurlong @furlongphotos @catalyst_movement_arts @twistedmovement #wrightliving #silence #speak #beheard
