PLUM POSITIONS
for CM, JH, AVS
Women of color are
Often fired or leave
They get plum positions
Yes they do all hurrah
After so much hustling but
Some are not agreeable
To security know too much
Too little I write this wired
You are like the light wind
To security loved by all
I desire wounds sealed up
Forever women of color are
Often fired or leave
Then pop up...
to chicago! see y'all soon.

BTW! Belated thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. Problem with tumblr’s bizarre messaging system is that it can be hard to definitively discern whether a message is intended to be public or private, so I’m refraining from publishing most of them, but plz know that they are very much appreciated.

I got to deejay one of my favorite Bay Area queer dance parties on Saturday. Saving one of the set lists for posterity, and hopefully also to destroy once and for all any political cred that I may accidentally have managed to accrue along the way.

Guernica: I’ve noticed that you often use the phrase “life chances.” Why not just say “the distribution of wealth”?
Dean Spade: I think that to me “life chances” is a phrase that captures the many, many vectors of harm and well-being that are being distributed in ways that I’m concerned about. For example, whether or not fresh groceries are available in your community, whether there’s toxic waste...
