Went to a feminist meet-up tonight at the Trumbullplex. It is always comforting and motivating to just be in a room with a group of intelligent, activist women. Women with something to say and a purpose for saying it. I’ve been in a bit of a slump lately, doing the bare minimum on the TG site, letting my inbox overflow and only answering those with a deadline. When I’m excited and motivated I can find an enormous amount of work to do, but I think taking an almost break right now is a good idea. Everyone talks about finding a balance and I never really wanted to because I was kind of high on feminism. I don’t think any of this is good or bad necessarily, it just is. I want to meet people running other orgs and see what we can do at a very grassroots level to help people in the community. I want to hold meetings and learn from the experiences of other women. It’s much more inspiring to hear stories in person than to read them in a book. I feel so lucky to have attended the meet-up and have met these women and I think Adele is truly amazing for the way she brings people together.
