This is lovely, Farris. Thanks for these words. I especially feel struck by this-
“Staudenmaier quotes, “We do liberation movements no favor by disguising disagreements, or, still worse, by evading questions which must be of concern to all revolutionaries.” In all loving relationships, our falsehoods catch up to us. Honesty between romantic partners is hard, but necessary. The same is true between comrades.”
Thanks Heather! Dishonesty and domination seem to go hand in hand. I believe bell hooks talks a bit more about this in "All About Love." Worth the read if you haven't already found your way to it! I think you'd really enjoy it & it could be illuminating for your professional work.
