When the numbers of people caught in that frosty grip of authoritarianism crop up I am reminded again of how many souls are lost-traumatized-removed in terms of how many 9/11s or Pearl Harbors were self-inflicting. To respond with resistance is logical.
Where, I wonder, is our collective grief?

Just taught Imagined Communities in intro yesterday, and it’s making read this through a lens of “horizontal comradeship.” Maybe I’ll use it in class next semester.
My latest is a love letter to Chicago. "I see you stumbling through the stubborn, awkward rhythm of showing up, again and again. I see you fighting alongside people who sometimes frustrate and confuse you, and defending neighbors you may have never met, because you know they’re all your people."

“‘Alien’ came about because of the feeling that so much history is wrong – as is being rediscovered all the time – and that we base so much on the wrong knowledge that we’ve gleaned.” Bowie quoted in Rolling Stone, 1984

Cognitive dissonance is so exhausting. The urgency of institutional critique only becomes more necessary.
Strive for alignment with the good you know innately to be true. Laugh at the ridiculous. Get in good trouble. Polite society is violent, do not be complicit. Be lighthearted. Choose life.

This is how late-stage capitalism turns into fascism. A startup charter airline whose planned clientele is wealthy groups—rock bands and sports teams—switches to ICE deportations of immigrants as it’s more lucrative. No retraining. No raises. Just forcing staff to suddenly do the work of fascism.

We’ve lost too many in the queer n trans community in the last few months. Each deserved a life without fighting for their right to exist.
To honour them, we must keep doing the work to make the lives of trans n queer people liveable: housing, sustenance, support, dignity, a reason to stay.
