Resharing this. This is the adaptation of the article, Amy Muse. I lovingly hold my ground. Everyone can find something. Yes, Lace on Race needs people to step up and stop rationalizing, at least to my face, FFS; but if not to the community you say you value, then to someone. You, and everyone, can find a dime. All of you really need to sit with the violence you visit when you say ‘can’t’ instead of the more truthful ‘won’t’.

And then you need to come off the won’t.

This is all about praxis, y’all. And congruence. And refusing to make your justice work just another hobby, that you do how you want and when you want and if you want. If you want the truth, this has been the biggest disappointment of the last year; just how many of you are wedded to the white supremacy of economic hoarding and insistent powerlessness, even as you claim empowered intersectional feminism.

We will be restarting the unclench ask for a person who needs it on a weekly basis. And we will be going forward with unapologetic requests for the health of this site, and respect of our labor.

Hear this: racism is an economic issue. racism is an economic issue. Racisim Is An Economic Issue. RACISM IS AN ECONOMIC ISSUE.

That 4000 of you have failed to internalize this is my biggest failure this year.

Read the post. Commit, or recommit, to doing better going forward. And get ready to fund a place you say you value, and the workers who bring it to you.
