some pieces i found today

for my international literature class, i read some pieces of poetry by queer folks and women of color that i thought we fantastic, so i thought i'd share.

Dawn Lundy Martin:

• "Awareness of being in a female body is a tinge of regret."
• "To fight is to lie down among the dead."

Kari Edwards:

• "on the other hand trying to escape from this multi-labeling assembly line at the commodification factory is like a fish trying to open a franchise of mcdonald's..."
• "finding these connections with others are important, if not critical to resistance."

Trish Salah:

• "And when you become in a particular direction, the exhaustion of other avenues doesn't mean you are done with them."
