She came to this world on a cold night
Papa turned his head and said
I don’t believe she’s mine
Single mama raised her in a place
Where you can look but never touch
‘Cause we don’t have enough
Don’t let your hopes get high
‘Cause girls like you can’t fly
Oh, the long nights in the small room
With the big dreams, oh [...]

Since we live on a farm, we aren’t immediately near what most people would think of as a neighborhood. We are surrounded by pasture and forestland. But across the bridge and up the hill, there is a more traditional neighborhood, and in the last decade people have bought land there, built houses for their families. [...]

The story of what happened to the Irish is the story of Native Americans is the story of indigenous and aboriginal people throughout the world is the story of women is the story of all colonized people.
OK, I want to talk about Ireland
Specifically I want to talk about the “famine”
About the fact that there never [...]

2010, Year of the Natives in America, video via Mitzi Belliveau on Facebook. How might things be different had we all grown up seeing images like this all of the time, all around us, instead of the images we’ve all seen, over and over again?

This is a song of liberation, of deep and anguished longings for justice. Some believe “Babylon” (from the book of Revelation in the Christian Bible) is the United States. Some believe Babylon is the Roman Catholic Church. Some believe Babylon to be colonizers, the rich and powerful. Sinead’s “Babylon” is about child abuse (she herself [...]

Migrant Woman by Dorothy Lange, Library of Congress
Click to listen to \”Woman of the Well\” by Chiwonisu
It is a winter morning
The ground feels rocky and cold
Beneath her cracked and bare feet.
The woman comes to the well
limping over scattered bones.
She is weary and tired.
And this life grinds upon her,
This life of endless toil
She is weary and [...]

Tidiness has been enforced upon women, both as passive recipients and as possessed instruments. As passive recipients women absorb tidings of tidiness– of tracked, tamed, linear thinking and feeling, enforced through injections of potted fear and other pseudopassions. As instrumental cooperators, women themselves become token tyrants of tidydom. Confined to the domains/chains of kitchen, office, [...]

For many years now I have been interested in the relationship between scapegoating violence and a phenomenon known as — or theorized as — “mimetic desire.” French philosopher and academic Rene Girard is widely credited with developing this theory or philosophy. Briefly (and necessarily reductively), mimetic desire theory posits that human beings are by nature social, that we are [...]

Mary Daly speaking at the Feminist Hullaballoo in Santa Fe, NM — June 23, 2007
She was amazing! I remember thinking her wearing of green might have been intentional, consistent with her celebration of the “biophilic” (life loving).
Mary Daly passed away yesterday, Sunday morning, January 3, 2010. Her life deserves to be honored and celebrated and for this, I [...]
