How do we live in these interstices and contradictions? Where is the space where we can know that a person’s emotional state is of high importance during birth, that their sense of safety needs to be supported, that the physiology of birth is directly impeded by real or imagined threats, that birth is culturally experienced and that our culture fears birth, without resorting to belief systems that have their roots in primitivism, eugenics, and racism?
I think we start by not holding people to a pedestal who have refused to even engage in the question.
The link in bio gets you to the full text of this article. Also, we’ve just got a week and a half left for admissions to Tideshifts: a Midwifery Mentorship Collective! If these are the kind of questions you long to explore in community, I invite you to throw your hat in the ring before February 8th! The applications so far have been 🤩. The link in bio gets you more info, or you can comment “Tides” here and I’ll personally DM you a brief rundown and a link to the application.
In love and solidarity,
Robina

As someone who’s done a lot of organizing with children, I get asked “how do you do it?” a lot. At root these questions are testament to the way in which caregiving creates in us a drive to build a world that gives more care. But long work hours, limited childcare, and household responsibilities make finding time for organizing meetings, or even finding the right organizing meetings to go to, let alone participating in direct action that might get you arrested, feel virtually impossible for the average parent. This is where I think it’s important to challenge us to get back to basics about how we are in community in the first place.
Learning how to radically be in community is a potent political act in an industrialized, capitalist culture that has eroded collectivism and connection in favor of individualism and isolation, that has siloed us into “nuclear” families who are responsible only to ourselves. It is the kind of work that will get us ready for the world to come, the world we or our children or our children’s children will have to build on the remains of the unsustainable empires that now teeter on the verge of collapse, because in the end it is the only world that can be. You know the phrase, “we keep us safe?” This is the work that allows that to be more than a slogan. Because all the organizing in the world is for naught if at the end of the day we don’t actually know how to care for each other.
As kids get older, the possibilities for more “traditional” political mobilization become more accessible. But it’s always easier if you already are rooted in a community who can support you in it. In that way, radically committing yourself to the work of community building comes full circle.
Head to the substack to keep reading.

They feel safe because you stand up against it.
Children are some of the most marginalized people in our society; they are inherently drawn to justice. Raising your baby in an environment of liberation is good for your baby!
And while linking liberation struggles to sleep is in some ways it tongue in cheek, in other ways it’s not. Most Western narratives around #infantsleep reflect the demands of colonial capital more than they reflect the needs of infants (or their parents). It’s no coincidence that the field of developmental psychology and “parenting experts” (most of whom were yt men who had no direct experience parenting) flourished contemporaneously with industrial capitalism. Most of the “sleep training” theories that still haunt us today ultimately serve colonial capitalist demands for worker productivity more than anything else, and rely on us internalizing the message, from our earliest moments, that biologically and developmentally appropriate needs for connection don’t matter or must be “trained” out of us. Colonial / industrial capitalism has spent a lot of effort fracturing kin networks into individual consumers, leaving new parents alienated from tradition and support and vulnerable to myths that further its agenda: that we cannot trust our instincts, that we are ultimately alone and only responsible to ourselves, that the solution for most things is consumption.
It’s continuing to rely on these message to currently manufacture consent for g3noc*de. Disrupt it. Your baby will thank you.
Love,
Your Midwife Robina
