We're not usually ones to advocate for silence. But...sometimes silence > the "helpful" (and/or awkward) things that people say to those who are grieving.
•
The best support in grief is often the quietest. Or maybe the best support manifests itself through action. That kind of quiet caring is always welcomed.

Dear Alabama,
You eradicate our choice
You try to mute our voice
Despite the chaos and the noise
You’re persistent in your ploys
I know my voice is small
You might not hear me at all
You’re too busy with your wall
But believe me we stand tall.
Emotional, political, and analytical
They make things out to seem like we don’t have any control
My body, my choice
It’s not up to the boys
You preach that we are free
Yet you still don’t speak for me
On your high horse in DC
You are blind to what we see.

#onthisday in 1906 Josephine Baker was born.
.
Influential Women Pt 111 Josephine Baker: an American-born French entertainer, activist, and French Resistance agent. Her career was centered primarily in Europe, mostly in her adopted France. During her early career she was renowned as a dancer, and was among the most celebrated performers to headline the revues of the Folies Bergère in Paris. Her performance in the revue Un vent de folie in 1927 caused a sensation in Paris. Her costume, consisting of only a girdle of artificial bananas, became her most iconic image and a symbol of the Jazz Age and the 1920s.
Baker was celebrated by artists and intellectuals of the era, who variously dubbed her the “Black Venus”, the "Black Pearl", the "Bronze Venus", and the "Creole Goddess".
Baker was the first African-American to star in a major motion picture, the 1927 silent film Siren of the Tropics.
When Adolf Hitler and the German army invaded France during World War II, Baker joined the fight against the Nazi regime. She aided French military officials by passing on secrets she heard while performing in front of the enemy. She transported the confidential information by writing with invisible ink on music sheets. After many years of performing in Paris, Baker returned to the United States.
Baker refused to perform for segregated audiences in the United States and is noted for her contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. After the war, she was awarded the Croix de guerre by the French military, and was named a Chevalier of the Légion d'honneur by General Charles de Gaulle.
Baker continued to fight racial injustices into the 1970s. Her personal life was a testament to her political agenda. Throughout her career, she adopted 13 children from various countries. She called her family “the rainbow tribe” and took her children on the road in an effort to show that racial and cultural harmony could exist.

This is every single woman in Australia right now.
This spectrum of emotion.
That another life could be taken so unimaginably.
But feeling these feels is no longer enough.
What are you doing today to honour Courtney Herron, and the other four women brutally killed in Melbourne in less than 365 days, and the other 25 women who have been killed since January and the countless and nameless women who live in fear every single day?
What on earth was a 25 year old woman doing living on the street?
Well she’s not the only one.
And she’s not the youngest.
As you wake up this morning, and safety use your facilities, and choose your clean clothing and pack your lunch and buy your coffee and ride on public transport and go to your job and know that at the end of the week you will be paid, and can afford to stop at Coles on your way home and cook yourself dinner and go to sleep in a bed with sheet and a blanket... as you do all of this, think about one thing you could do to honour the memory of a woman who was let down time and time and time again.
Think of all the women who don’t have the luxury of wearing clean clothes, or brushing their teeth in a bathroom that’s not also a public restroom.
This about how much to value your safety.
Think about it, please.
And do something. Don’t do nothing.
The time is now.
