In my time away, I’ve learned that I’m especially bad at following through with my personal goals without someone to hold me accountable. As such, I’m going to try sharing my major daily and/or weekly goals here as a means of holding myself accountable. As with everything, we’ll see if this sticks.

  • Post an announcement for my employees reminding them to submit and revise their spring availability (Completed at 2:00 pm)

Complicit®
Brent Pruitt, 2021

Each member within society is responsible for the perpetuation of institutional oppression.

To what extent do we, as an individual, or collective, acknowledge our participation? How do we hold ourselves, and each other, accountable?

Complicit® is a declaration of recrimination and confession.

Here’s a riddle:

Many people are able to see me in themselves.

Many others ignore me.

I am a perceived strength, if you can acknowledge me.

Living without me can destroy even the most precious relationships.

People who live without me are blinded, but not with their eyes.

When you use me, I never shrink, I always grow.

When you don’t, you relinquish your power to outside forces.

A lack of my presence can not always be seen, but it is felt by everyone around.

When you consistently ignore me, you will become a victim by choice.


What am I?


Accountability.

If anyone’s interested the paper linked here (free to read and available as a pdf) is a good read especially if you’re new to the concept of restorative justice. It’s also relatively short (15 pages.)

The topic of restorative justice as it relates to sexual assault is a difficult one. I as a victim of multiple sexual assaults have a hard time wanting anything but like… painful death for my r*pists but like, being wholly committed to abolishing the prison system and our current punitive/carceral conception of justice, you can’t just pick and choose to who and what it applies. If we are to seriously consider restorative justice as an alternative to the current system - it’s got to include sexual assault too!

One of the quotes I love! One of my biggest pet peeves are people that are all talk and no action.

wecandoit:

Hi friends!

So I’ve been doing this 30 day productivity (30dop) challenge and I didn’t intend on making it a proper challenge when I started but some people have been showing interest so I thought I’d just lay out some basics and also give you some prompts! By no means am I suggesting that I created this challenge, I know a lot of people do things like this, I just wanna help some people out.

The basics of what you need to know:

  • This challenge is open to ANYONE, studying, working, preparing for something, people who are just bored
  • You can start this challenge at any time during the year
  • ‘Productivity’ is a purely subjective term. You may classify simply reading a book as making a day productive (it really does)
  • Tag your challenge posts with #30dop so others can follow along; I’ll track this tag but may not reblog
  • If you dowant me to interact and reblog your posts, tag the posts #heydilli(this is my tracking tag so you can use this for other posts too)

If this sounds good to you, keep scrolling for some daily prompts!

Keep reading

I really hate the rhetoric of people saying “it’s not men that do that, it’s boys”. If a man abuses someone, they’re called a boy, like they lost their “man card” for doing something heinous. This doesn’t break them down because you took their “man card”, all it does is inadvertently say “men can do no wrong”.

Mencan do wrong. Men do wrong a lot. You aren’t breaking an abusers ego by calling them a boy; you’re invalidating the victim by saying that an entire demographic is incapable of wrongdoing, even though the victim was wronged by that demographic.

Stop making comments like “men don’t do that, only boys do that” or “real men respect women, only boys cause harm”.

Andthenhe realized why he was thinking like this.

It was because he wanted there to be conspirators. It was much better to imagine men in some smoky room somewhere, made mad and cynical by privilege and power, plotting over the brandy. You had to cling to this sort of image, because if you didn’t then you might have to face the fact that bad things happened because ordinary people, the kind who brushed the dog and told their children bedtime stories, were capable of then going out and doing horrible things to other ordinary people. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone’s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I’m one of Us. I must be. I’ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We’re always one of Us. It’s Them that do the bad things.

Terry Pratchett,Jingo

“You can do all the research in the world to understand the inner workings of the narcissist’s mind, but it will do nothing to influence the outcome of the relationship.⁠

Narcissists don’t think like most people. You can try to appeal to their seemingly ‘hurt’ inner child, be the most devoted partner or family member, and do everything they ask of you, but it will not change a thing.⁠

Ever.⁠

Narcissists are not interested in stable, loving, reciprocal connections. The idea of meeting your emotional needs repulses them to the core. The only positive leanings they have about your love and devotion are that they can use your sentimental feelings against you for their own benefit.⁠

Here’s one thing I know to be absolutely true – when it comes to narcissists, we all want to believe we’ll be the exception to the rule, but none of us ever are.⁠

There simply is not a way to “make things work” with a narcissist that doesn’t involve erasing your own identity, emotions, and needs.⁠

You cannot set boundaries with them (none that they’ll honor, anyway)⁠

You can’t reason with them.⁠

You can’t get them to stop lying, cheating, betraying, etc.⁠

You cannot have a loving, reciprocal, healthy relationship if you’re the only one interested in having it.⁠

And this is the last thing on the narcissist’s mind, even if they try to convince you otherwise. Pay attention to patterns, because patterns never lie.⁠”

( @kim.saeed )

Ten lbs and 5.25 inches I joined #teamWAG @workingagainstgravity. I had done flexible dieting before but never to this extent and never with such accountability and encouragement. 

No major changes to my diet (except maybe more carbs and a little less peanut butter, but not much!) No major changes to my fitness regime. 

Just one thing, and a lot of learning. Tracked all the food I ate diligently and very rarely gave in and cheated significantly (not to say I didn’t eat any junk food—I just made sure to account for it). Weighed everything. Learned that measuring is not nearly as accurate as the scale. 

Working Against Gravity has both redefined how I view food and how I eat and has definitely given me way more energy to put towards my workouts. I’ve always been hardcore about hitting the gym because I love it, but when your progress is elevated because your nutrition is on point and you have people behind you wanting you to succeed, you do what you can to not let them down.

I’m leaner and lighter than I’ve been in years (likely since high school—I am 29 fyi), my lifts either remain the same or have gone up. Since starting with the group my RX handstand push ups have improved, other gymnastics including ring dips, push ups, pull ups, and ab exercises also have improved. My endurance and cardio stamina feels better most days (and having asthma, I have struggled with this and don’t have a great engine).

Love this program, love tracking what I eat, love fuelling my body and giving it exactly what it needs to do well. Love trusting the process. Loveknowing and being confident in food and nutrition choices. Love that this will be an easy thing to maintain and keep with for awhile.

Why is this even a question? How is your child meant to learn to apologize when you don’t do it yourself as a parent?

This is actually a really important factor in how I establish healthy, trusting relationships with kiddos at work. I am a human and therefore make mistakes, which children will catch and call me out for, because children are information sponges with no verbal filters.

When a kid says, “but miss tommy, i thought you said we’re not supposed to do that,” I answer, “You’re right. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that. I won’t do it again.” It could be something small, maybe a kid sees me biting my nails, or maybe I grabbed a kid by the arm who was about to collide with something solid but I grabbed too hard. Whatever it is, it’s important to

  • acknowledge the mistake,
  • apologize to the kid,
  • and verbalize a plan to correct it.

Not only does this model HOW to make an effective apology, but it establishes trust on many levels. The children who witness the exchange now know that:

  • I will be honest with them even if it does not serve my ego,
  • I care about their feelings,
  • and I am taking their needs seriously.

Apologize to your kids when you mess up! It won’t diminish your authority as their grown-up, it shows that you respect that authority!

This is one thing emotionally abusive parents are known for. Holding power over accountability and they wonder why their children don’t want to be around when they get older.

Yes. Yes so much yes.

This really goes for all adults who regularly interact with kids.

You’d be amazed how quickly an apology can help a situation with a difficult kid. How fast you can get a kid to listen to you if you acknowledge their feelings and ways you have, however intentionally or not, upset them. How much that can change their whole day to have an adult actually really talk to them like someone who matters.

It is heartbreaking to see the effects of machismo taking so many mujeres from this world, including Nancy Mederos, a 19 yr old from Los Angeles who was recently murdered by her boyfriend in a motel. We must acknowledge that violence against women of color is not only upheld by abusers but also by men of color who turn a blind eye when they see or hear about women of color experiencing violence.

For too long, us women of color have been forced to choose between our racial & gendered experiences. When we bring up gendered violence & call out men for being abusive, we are considered “divisive” and that we are threatening the integrity of men of color and, therefore, threatening the movement towards racial justice. We are perceived as traitors or we are derailed with responses like “not all men.” There cannot be racial justice without gender justice. It’s not possible. Intersectionality doesn’t work like that. 

Men of color, from the beginning of time - we have always had your backs. We are always on the frontlines of every movement fighting for you. 

We need you to step up & fight for us.

This means taking accountability for your actions. This means calling out other men you see acting in abusive ways towards women. Even if you are not the abuser yourself, you are not absolved bc being complacent is just as harmful. We demand justice for all victims of domestic violence & homicide. We must put an end to machismo in our communities NOW!

This year, my work is to recognize my weaknesses and hindrances, then hold myself accountable for success in every aspect of my life!

“While it’s often painful to see ourselves the way we really are versus the fake, veneered version of ourselves that we try to put forward for the world to see, it’s also extremely liberating because we finally understand that we’re the very ones who can transform our own lives for the better.”

What are you working on this year?

purple-ladys-stuff:

WHEN will men be held accountable like women are ?

If we’re so fucking superior, why aren’t we already ?

A man who has openly campaigned for persecution on the basis of religion, for building a wall between the United States and Mexico, and who both claimed that he didn’t know what the Klu Klux Klan was and refused to reject their endorsement, who has bragged in interviews about sexually assaulting women is going to be president of the United States.  A man who signed into law the ability for businesses to discriminate against LGBTQI people, a man who advocated against same-sex marriageandadvocated for electroshock therapy to “convert” gay people, is going to be our vice president.

Like most of the country, I didn’t expect this to happen.  I read Nate Silver’s analysis of the polls, saw that there was a greater probability of Donald Trump losing then winning.  But there was a possibility of him winning and he did.

There are a lot of analyses being published about how Donald Trump won the presidency and I expect there will be many more in the future and that we will probably learn a lot from them.  But regardless, this is true:  we are going to have a president and vice president who have campaigned on a platform of discrimination and suppression of human rights.

Those who voted for them knew that.  They decided that the reason they had for voting for Trump, including the promise of economic stability and attention after decades of neglect, the attraction of a Washington outsider, distrust of Hillary Clinton, or any other reason was more important than rejecting a man who publicly condoned discrimination as a public policy.  This is true even if the voter does not consider themselves discriminatory, rejects racism and other discrimination personally, believes that they would never discriminate against another person, or even believes that Donald Trump is lying and he won’t actually follow through on those campaign promises.  They still decided that they were willing to risk having a president who promised to force all Muslims in America to register with the government and when asked how this policy would be different  than when Germany required all Jews to register, responded, “You tell me.”

It is difficult for me to acknowledge and own when I have chosen my own (perceived) safety, my fear, or my well-being above the safety and well-being of others.  If you voted for Trump, I imagine that what I have said will make you angry and defensive.  If you are a fellow Hoosier, I imagine you might want to remind me of the economic shambles of our state, the way the Democratic party and the entire federal government has not created a real plan for Midwest, remind me of the meth epidemic, the long hours working three part time jobs to almost make ends meet, the high cost of mandated private insurance, and the shitty, condescending way Hollywood and the rest of the country  talks about us–like our whole state and our lives are a punchline.  And you’ll probably tell me of a  lot of other things I don’t know because I haven’t walked in your shoes.  These things are all true.  I accept that truth.

And it is also true that Donald Trump has promised to force all Muslims to register with the government, his vice president co-sponsored a bill that would deny citizenship to the children born in the United States, if their parents were undocumented immigrants and if you voted for Trump and Pence, you decided to that it was okay for those things to happen, or least, you were willing to risk it.

And that is what terrifies me, and terrifies the people who are targeted by Trump’s proposed policies.  Even if he doesn’t go through with his promises, the willingness of white people (because white people overwhelmingly voted for Trump, including the majority of white women) to risk the safety of people of color, LGBTQI people, and religious minorities means that we have normalized and condoned violence and discrimination.  Again.

And I do not accept that.

This didn’t happen over night, and white people aren’t suddenly more biased, but Trump’s presidency makes it more likely for oppressive acts to be accepted. There has already been a spike in hate crimes against Black people, against Muslims, against LGBTQI people.  In south Philly, people are painting swastikas on walls, and I’ve already had one friend be harassed for speaking out against white supremacist posters that are appearing on the Ohio State University campus.

I have heard close friends and family (all white and straight, and mostly middle-class) say, “We got through Reagan, we got through both Bushes, we’ll get through Trump.”  But not everyone got through Reagan, and the Bushes.  There are thousands of dead Nicaraguans, thousands of Black and Hispanic people sitting in prison, thousands of dead American soldiers, thousands of dead victims of the AIDS epidemic, who did not “get through” those administrations.  There are people my age who grew up without a parent because their mother or father died in Iraq or Afghanistan, or at the hands of CIA-trained Central American death squads.  I do not accept that we will all inevitably “get through” Trump’s administration.

Why am I writing so much about what I accept and do not accept?  Because if Donald Trump, or Mike Pence, or any of his administration, or even regular private citizens, want to oppress others, they first have to make it normal and palatable to the public.  We have seen this again, and again in our history.  We don’t start off by sending people to internment camps, we start with a database.  And before we start with a database, we start talking about registration.  So the time to push back is not when they string up the barbed wire, the time is when you first hear about registration.  Or denying citizenship.  Or taking away voting rights.  Or building a wall.

I know a lot people are already working to make the world and ourselves less cruel and dangerous.  But as my dear friend Faith, theologian, pastor, teacher and supreme bad-ass said immediately after the election,

I pray every single one of us demands no less of the new president than the best we could imagine. Hold the President accountable, hold those in the Senate and the House and the Cabinet and the block next door and hold yourself accountable. In the aftermath of this election, we all have to be better, more loving, more imaginative, more committed to protecting the outcast, the stranger, we must be more generous of spirit, than we have yet imagined we can possibly be. Now more than ever, lives surely depend on it.

I’m going to be writing more on this blog about ways to push back, care for our community, and hold ourselves accountable, but my overwhelming plan is: Don’t accept discrimination or neglect as normal.  Don’t let it become acceptable.  There is nothing natural about letting people live in poverty, there is nothing natural about discriminating against someone because of their religion, or race, or ethnicity, or sexual orientation, or gender or any other glorious expression of humanity.

I’m holding myself accountable to my community and I’m entrusting myself to you too.
