“Privileges . . . are the specific benefits or advantages that come with possessing privilege. These can include access to better education, healthcare, job opportunities, and social networks. Privileges can also be more subtle, such as not having to worry about being discriminated against or harassed due to one’s race or gender. Privileges can be both tangible and intangible, and they often work together to reinforce existing power structures and inequalities.”

in-between days

Mom’s birthday falling on a Lunar Eclipse this year was fitting. The in-between time of the Lunar Eclipse and next week’s Solar Eclipse already feels like something has changed for me on a deep level. “I shared a little while back that I was still coming out of the underworld. It feels like now I am closer to the mouth of the cave.”
