Words of Wisdom
by Liza Sabater
Lorraine is one of my new readers and she's been leaving nuggets of wisdom all across my blog. My favorite? c u l t u r e k i t c h e n: A day to celebrate Martin Luther King and the power of Creative Militancy :
I think creative militancy is going to be expressed in the small, personal-as-political acts that each of us are going to have to undertake. For example?
Buy a vibrator in the state of Alabama.Request a copy of the book AMERICA in Mississippi.
As a gay couple, try to adopt a child in Florida.
As a woman, insist on your right to buy Plan B contraceptives over the counter.
Don't spend a dime on Inauguration Day.
There will be moments when we need to take to the streets, but the battle for civil rights, for the right to privacy, is going to be fought in each small act that we take to declare that we will not be cowed by an administration that seeks to destroy personal liberty.
You can find Lorraine at Stregoneria.
