dd's friend T came from boston. we went to the beach today. we thought about going to the independence day parade. local desi lgbt and dv org are doing their yearly protest. but we went to the beach. waves clinked like jhumkas. there was a big harvest of beautiful purple shells washed up by the tide. i collected some with a young stranger.
T was invited by one of the few woc from an eco feminist retreat (mostly kali-fetishizing white women) up north to an event here. we went to Hattie Carthan community garden yesterday in bed stuy for food film festival. the films were cancelled and we gathered in a circle to talk. people spoke out about a recent murder and and grieved over the pattern of killings in the neighborhood. there were women of color talking about losing sons alongside young white hipsters/gentrifiers talking about how the world needs more love, man.
