Merry Crisis

everyone on both sides should stop whining about the ability to quote tweet posts here

you can still grab the URL of a post and stick it in the text box. thats all a quote tweet is. unless im wrong, it wouldnt be all that difficult to make a masto-fork that has the browser display posts linked inside of other posts.

either build it yourselves and shut up, or stop petitioning the void and shut up

either way shut up about it and post something normal its literally the holidays drink some hot chocolate, watch a stupid movie, get warm under a blanket. post about a nice memory or something anything but this

Anarchists should stop seeking justice as the foundation for their politics.

The legal system, the so-called justice system is a mockery of the living traditions that used to bind the patriarchal peoples, gathered together through the thin bonds of blood. Justice, for them, has always been The Right To Punish The Transgressor.
And here, what is the Right?
We know Sovereignty; head of the body, power and responsibility necessitated within.
On the one hand, that the head is responsible for the body, and that there can be only one head... ane on the other, more personal scale, just that no one would fault them for it. They would not be considered to be transgressing anyone else's laws.

So, justice? A world where the wronged rule as righteous fist against the wrong? The wronged is only discovered after. Are the transgressors not wronging the traditions? And is that not what we see at play?

There are traditions and transgressions.
Imbued with histories and powers unique to each.

And is that not the basic freedoms each anarchist desires? The freedom to transgress the past, the history that determines us in law, in schools, in the very layouts of the land we are born into. And The freedom to build our own traditions, our own history, our own community, the ways we want to, which, for many of us has been a transgressive break from the communities and traditions we were raised in?

To mend the world.
That remains the only goal I can see.

And I dont think it possible to plan the mended world, only to let it live.

all our roads are literally encased in inches of ice

we're out of milk and its tooooo icy to even walk to get more sooo im using ice cream in my coffee

As queers and exiles of all kinds, remember that it's up to us to preserve the memory our love and living practices.

Many of us had no practices instilled in us by any queers in our lives, since many of us grew up in an era without queer elders, without a history being communicated by anyone trusted in our lives. Instead, many of us were struggling alone against the heavily Christian-coded practices of capitalist, consumerist hegemony.

We had to develop our own practices.
To keep ourselves and each other safer.
To accept and express ourselves.
To develop community, and love.

It's up to us to protect the memory of these practices, their living history. We cannot expect our memory to be kept by the textbooks of machine that produces workers.

We keep the memory of our love, our life, alive.

And we have the power to do more than those that came before us, so that those after us can walk with our knowledge, our failures.

Celebrate around shrines of your love. Let them burn as bright as your heart.

Build temples of rest for exiles. Let them be sanctuaries of self-acceptance as endless becomings.

be a faggot! 🌈
