Happy birthday, Angela Davis! (January 26, 1944)

A prominent and influential Black Marxist feminist intellectual and activist, Angela Davis was born and raised in Jim Crow Birmingham, Alabama. Her activism started early, as she marched against segregation as a Girl Scout. Her involvement in the communist movement began in high school, and deepened during her undergraduate education in West Germany. She moved to California to pursue her graduate degree, and had a brief and tumultuous stint as a professor at UCLA, where she was fired for being a communist, rehired by court order, and fired again for her political beliefs. Davis became a cause celebre for progressives and the left when she was put on trial for murder for having purchased weapons later used in a killing. She was ultimately found not guilty. She continued her activism and academic work with her increased public profile, and was the Communist Party's candidate for Vice President in 1980 and 1984. She terminated her long association with the Party in 1991, helping to found the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism. Davis has written a number of books on feminist, Marxist, and Black struggle, including Are Prisons Obsolete? and Women, Race and Class.

Yesterday, Today, and Forever

Okay I wanted to update just over three weeks post surgery!!! I am feeling so great and going back to work next week! I'm still taking it easy but feel like healing is going really well and fairly smooth.

My biggest shock I guess I would say is how little amount of pain I was in. I did not take any of the prescribed pain medication but just tylenol and advil (I was told if I could handle just that to do just that) but honestly feel like I could have gone without. I was uncomfortable and sore but never felt a huge amount of pain in my chest but I will say other people say otherwise so it’s just different for everyone I guess!

The worst thing for me was my throat because of being intubated. My mom said I probably would have a sore throat after but it was so much worse than I thought, I truly had the worst sore throat of my life the night of but it did go away within 24 hours.

One person that I talked to about the procedure I asked about recovery and she was like I was fine the next day and I was like oh, okay, what do you mean by that? But I really did feel fine the next day especially because I was able to take a shower but I do know some surgeons say to wait at least 48 hours. But yeah, I was able to walk about and such, I thought I would be more bedridden after.

Saying that, it still took a toll on my body and I’m just getting over the exhaustion of it all. Mentally also it was a bit stressful, I was so nervous about an infection or something and yeah, just felt very tired generally.

Overall I am so happy I did it! I'm still a little swollen but am so so excited!!!

Omg congrats on your breast reduction date!! I desperately want to get one so if you’re comfortable can you please share your experience 🥺

Thank you!!! I am so excited!!

And of course! I can talk a bit about the process up until now and will update after! I am not sure how other places would differ in the process but this is how it worked in my province in Canada.

I started with going to my GP and mentioning it and she referred me to a surgeon, I specifically asked for a woman and that was met well. It took about two years for me to have the consultation with the surgeon but this was all during covid so everything took longer than usual. My doctor told me to go in there and like fight to prove I needed this to be covered but the surgeon was like oh your in some pain? yeah it will be covered, all good, no fuss. So the surgeon like measured me and walked me through the procedure and said it would probably be around a year for the surgery but this was 2021 so it ended up taking over two years for me to get the call for the surgery and wooo thats where we are now!!!!!

anybody else going through life feeling like a dog that wasn't socialized enough as a puppy

   Oh, you look like a Gibson Magazine cover.  Perhaps some romantic artist will fall for you and ask to paint your picture.    Oh, Miss Shirley, I’m going to wear my hair just like that when I turn 18.
