What if friendship were understood not just on an individual, personal level, but as something political – a radical practice capable of upending hierarchies and producing revolutionary social change?

Laura C. Forster and Joel White reflect on radical friendship and everyday solidarities.

Elles lisaient en cachette, entre deux corvées, dans l’ombre d’un frère ou à la lueur d’une bougie. Dans une France corsetée par le Code civil, la lecture devenait pour elles un espace de liberté, pour exister, penser, et parfois même, résister.

The Conference of the Birds is a 12th-c mystic poem by Attār of Nishapur. Its tale of birds seeking their King is an allegory of the seeker’s journey to Truth. 🧵
