“I want my friends to understand that “staying out of politics” or being “sick of politics” is privilege in action. Your privilege allows you to live a non-political existence. Your wealth, your race, your abilities or your gender allows you to live a life in which you likely will not be a target of bigotry, attacks, deportation, or genocide. You don’t want to get political, you don’t want to fight because your life and safety are not at stake.

“It is hard and exhausting to bring up issues of oppression (aka “get political”). The fighting is tiring. I get it. Self-care is essential. But if you find politics annoying and you just want everyone to be nice, please know that people are literally fighting for their lives and safety. You might not see it, but that’s what privilege does.” / Kristen Tea, motherwiselife.org

Actively supports freedom of expression, sustainability and human rights.

The BeZine fosters understanding through a shared love of the arts and humanities and all things spirited; seeks to make a contribution toward personal healing and deference for the diverse ways people try to make moral, spiritual and intellectual sense of a world in which illness, violence, despair, loneliness and death are as prevalent as hope, friendship, reason and birth. Submissions to Jamie Dedes bardogroup@gmail.com

Actively supports peace, environmental sustainability, social justice and a life of the spirit.

Now is the time…

Resist …Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath shewn, that [Humankind] are more disposed to suffer, while Evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long Train of Abuses […]

The BeZine’s Farewell

Stones occupy where my heart should feel light, heavy stones. After almost making it through ten years, The BeZine must now say, “good-bye.” Due to changes in the lives of our editorial team and some of our contributors; losses of our Founder, Jamie Dedes,and one of our guiding lights, Michael Rothenberg; and my own failing […]

Among many incidents, hundreds of girls in Iranian schools have been targets of chemical attacks. Increasing rates of executions have emboldened solidarity across entire families to continue the protests for gender equality and […]

When The Queen Came to Tea | John Anstie

A little boy in awe, aged six, perhaps more …or thereabouts, it matters little or less. Four years had passed since She had been proclaimed our Queen, our first coronation for a Queen Elizabeth in nearly four hundred years. So young. So pretty. So popular and pure. Around my age there was another little boy […]
