There Is Just So Much

Dancing In Public Spaces And Moving Your Body Freely In A Public Space Is Reclaiming What Was Taken From You When You Were Violated. The Energy Of That - You Can't Capture It, You Can't Own It. Capitalists Can't Buy It.it Can't Be Sold. It Can't Be Monetized. And That's Why I Think It's So Powerful.

Stop Trying To Fix Your Body. It Was Never Broken.

For Me, So Much Of My Life Has Been This Attempt To Find My Way Back Into My Body. I Tried Various Forms, From Promiscuity, To Eating Disorders, To Performance Art. And I Think It Wasn't Until I Got Cancer, Where I Was Suddenly Being Pricked And Ported And Chemoed And Operated On, That I Suddenly Just Became Body. I Was Just A Body. And It Was In That, In That Finally Landing In Myself That I Really Discovered The World In My Body.

I Think About Marvin Gaye And 'sexual Healing.' What A Radical Idea That Sex Was Healing. I Learned My Politics Through That Music.

Wouldn't It Be Incredible If Everyone Could Be Purged, Somehow, Of The Projected Not-them Badness That They Internalized And Perhaps Have Acted Out Because Their Souls Have Been So Damaged? Wouldn't It Be Incredible If Everyone Could Find The Joy That Comes With Committing To Our Own Goodness? Perhaps We Would Stop Dividing Ourselves Into Malignancies Of Various Forms.
