I’m in school right now to be a midwife. working at this and joining my city’s Leninist Party for Socialism and Liberation has provided with me with such a fierce and violent sense of revolutionary optimism. things literally cannot continue like this and the good thing is they won’t! if we review history, working class militia revolutions have always won and they are our best shot at freedom. Cuba, China, Burkina Faso, Venezuela, Columbia, etc. There are always profoundly evil and fascist powers trying to destroy these movements but we simply outnumber them! we always have and we always will! getting organized is our only choice. I recommend reading and writing some manifestos, i can send some too. they’ve charged me with such an insane feeling of hope and power. also i agree, it feels good to have a real job. midwives and doulas and reproductive health/birth attendants are as old as time. viscious toothy love

as a doula i applaud you for helping in any way you can, this work is hard and rewarding and frightening and sometimes feels so impossible with how the world shifts beneath our feet. i look into the faces of my clients and their children and only hope that one day they will not fear the end like we do
