September 1, 2020: “Suffragists, Sojourner, Sankofa . . . and WAKANDA FOREVER!”

   

It's FED-UPRising 2020, and YOUR META is HERE FOR EVERY MINUTE OF IT, bringing relevance and relief, self-awareness and SELF-CARE...NESS!




As always, YOUR META IS . . . Bringing hope that sustains rather than drains!


We're also bringing this week's INTERVIEW with artist, activist, performer, FEARLESS RENAISSANCE WOMAN (SOJOURNER TRUTH, PAR EXCELLANCE), GRACE ANGELA HENRY!


PLUS, we're talking about about WOMEN OF COLOR and the SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT . . . and about NOT being SWALLOWED.

And the late, great, IMPOSSIBLE to over-appreciate, Chadwick Boseman.


And we're still fitting in the music, mindful, and META that YOUR BLACK META is known for slinging!




Words of WISDOM and RELEVANCE

CHADWICK BOSEMAN, URSULA LeGUIN & JACOB BLAKE, Sr.

(And one of the Pablos, et al.)



Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP. Accessed August 30, 2020 from: "The director of 'Black Panther' explained where the popular Wakanda salute actually comes from." https://www.businessinsider.com/where-the-black-panther-wakanda-salute-comes-from-2018-5

 

“Everybody is the hero in their own story”―Chadwick Boseman


 “Justice is not a 

qualitative question.”―Dr. Kwame Ture




“Perhaps the problem is this: when threatened, we pull out our weapon, anger. Then the threat passes or evaporates. But the weapon is still in our hand. And weapons are seductive, even addictive.”―Ursula K. LeGuin



“Anger continued on past its usefulness becomes unjust, then dangerous… It fuels not positive activism but regression, obsession, vengeance, self-righteousness. Corrosive, it feeds off itself, destroying its host in the process.”―Ursula K. LeGuin




“My fears come down to fear of not being safe (as if anyone is ever safe) and of not being in control (as if I ever was in control). Does the fear of being unsafe and not in control express itself as anger, or does it use anger as a kind of denial of the fear?  One view of clinical depression explains it as sourced in suppressed anger. Anger turned, perhaps, against the self, because fear — fear of being harmed, and fear of doing harm — prevents the anger from turning against the people or circumstances causing it.  If so, no wonder a lot of people are depressed, and no wonder so many of them are women. They are living with an unexploded bomb.”―Ursula K. LeGuin



“The racism, misogyny, and counter-rationality of the reactionary right in American politics for the last several years is a frightening exhibition of the destructive force of anger deliberately nourished by hate, encouraged to rule thought, invited to control behavior. I hope our republic survives this orgy of self-indulgent rage.”―Ursula K. LeGuin



“Fear, in a person of my temperament, is endemic and inevitable, and I can’t do much about it except recognize it for what it is and try not to let it rule me entirely. If I’m in an angry mood and aware of it, I can ask myself, So what is it you’re afraid of? That gives me a place to look at my anger from. Sometimes it helps get me into clearer air.”―Ursula K. LeGuin


“I believe that we can craft a brighter reality.”―Riley Johndonnell



“Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.”―Pablo Picasso



“WAKANDA FOREVER!”―Err'body

FDA (Food and Drug Administration)

WARNING!

METHANOL IN MANY HAND-SANITIZER BRANDS


[7-2-2020] FDA is warning consumers and health care providers that the agency has seen a sharp increase in hand sanitizer products that are labeled to contain ethanol (also known as ethyl alcohol) but that have tested positive for methanol contamination. Methanol, or wood alcohol, is a substance that can be toxic when absorbed through the skin or ingested and can be life-threatening when ingested... .

Consumers who have been exposed to hand sanitizer containing methanol and are experiencing symptoms should seek immediate treatment for potential reversal of toxic effects of methanol poisoning. Substantial methanol exposure can result in nausea, vomiting, headache, blurred vision, permanent blindness, seizures, coma, permanent damage to the nervous system or death. Although all persons using these products on their hands are at risk for methanol poisoning, young children who accidently [sic] ingest these products and adolescents and adults who drink these products as an alcohol (ethanol) substitute, are most at risk.

SAY THEIR NAMES, SAY THEIR NAMES


YMCA Farm Project in Kingston has offered to host a "Say Their Names" Memorial, honoring black lives we have lost to police brutality and racial injustice. 


Joy Proctor, based out of Portland, Oregon has originally created and put together this memorial and made her template available to anyone who would like to bring it to their hometown. You can see examples of this coming together across the nation here --> www.instagram.com/saytheirnamesmemorial

SAY THEIR NAMES, SAY THEIR NAMES.





REPLENISH.
YO.
SPOOOOOOOONZ!




"The most unfathomable schools and sages have never attained to the gravity which dwells in the eyes of a baby of three months old. It is the gravity of astonishment at the universe, and astonishment at the universe is not mysticism, but a transcendent common sense. The fascination of children lies in this: that with each of them all things are remade, and the universe is put again upon its trial. As we walk the streets and see below us those delightful bulbous heads, three times too big for the body, which mark these human mushrooms, we ought always to remember that within every one of these heads there is a new universe, as new as it was on the seventh day of creation. In each of those orbs there is a new system of stars, new grass, new cities, a new sea."—G. K. Chesterton

Sometimes Leah and I mix it up a bit and share some pretty personal moments as well. Why? Well, we're far from perfect and we've learned a lot from our mistakes.

  1. "Ursula K. LeGuin on Anger." Maria Popova, Brainpickings.com. The poet May Sarton experienced anger as “a huge creative urge gone into reverse.” Philosopher Martha Nussbaum has argued that it is often “an alluring substitute for grieving,” granting us the illusion of agency in situations that bereave of us of control. Poet and philosopher David Whyte pulled on anger’s weft thread to reclaim it as “the deepest form of compassion.” But anger, like silence, is of many kinds and thunders across a vast landscape of contexts, most of its storms ruinous, and some, just maybe, redemptive. That is what the sharp-minded, large-spirited, incomparably brilliant Ursula K. Le Guin examines in an essay titled “About Anger,” found in her altogether fantastic nonfiction collection No Time to Spare: Thinking About What Matters (public library).
