Hope isn't a lottery ticket Hope is an axe you break down doors with in an emergency; hope should shove you out the door, 'cause it will take everything you have to steer the future away from endless war, annihilation of earth, the grinding down of the poor. Hope calls for action -Rebecca Solnit

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

how we talk about genocide isn't "nitpicking over words" (as i was recently told when i corrected someone who called it a "conflict.") words carry weight and substance; materialize into thoughts and actions, protect or erase bodies. no one just "ends up" in a mass grave.
Ended. Up.

Ended.

Up.

If you truly want trans people to be free, then you would understand that Palestine must also be free. If you truly care about immigrants, then you would understand also that disabled folks must have agency and access.

“We are in an imagination battle... Imagination gives us borders, gives us superiority, gives us race as an indicator of capability. I often feel I am trapped inside someone else’s imagination, and I must engage my own imagination in order to break free.”
