One thing that’s missing from modern anarchism is an embrace of whimsical, artistic weirdness. We’re so serious in these dark times that most of us lost unpredictable chaos as a creative source and a strategic asset. Like, in the 60′s in the Netherlands the Provo’s performed ecstatic screams and surprise stripteases in public, a guy … Continue reading

In 2017 a lot of my friends contributed to the MeToo hashtag. Friends who were still having panic attacks and avoided places where their rapist might be. Vulnerable friends who were still hurting put their pain out there in public in the hopes of creating a better future. While I greatly admire their courage, I’m … Continue reading
Being fiercely protective of minors is not a virtue if your ‘protection’ consists of patronising: denying their agency, treating every teenager like a delicate flower with the innocent mind of a new born child, shaming them for experiencing their own bodies in any sexual way. invalidating: talking over their feelings, claiming that what felt right … Continue reading
Under Authoritarian Christianity, a strict moral code of purity rules and lust is the ultimate sin. And after a hundred years of pushback, many of us are still struggling to find comfort and joy in our desires. Under Capitalism, a strict moral code of productivity and consumption rules, desire is welcomed as long as it … Continue reading
queerautism: queeranarchism: If your concept op ‘wholesome’ lgbt/queer posts excludes sexual content you’re just a new generation of gayservatives trying to sanitize the queer community and you can eat out my filthy perverted queer ass. Ok but there should be a space for both though? I’m queer, I’m sex repulsed, and it can be extremely … Continue reading
The need of identity politics to have clear easy answers for everything leaves very little space for non-binary experiences. For example, sometimes a non-binary experience of transmisogyny in public may boil down to “if your body (‘amab’ or not) is perceived (accurately or not) as primarily testosterone based and you gender is perceived (accurately or … Continue reading
Extremism
The word ‘extremist’ was invented to control political thought, plain and simple. If you want to change too much, if you perceive the existing injustice as unbearable, if your passion for change is too strong, if you do not accept the limits that have been put on what we can talk about and what worlds … Continue reading Extremism
Awareness
I have a very complex relationship to activism and in particular to awareness-raising even as I partake in it. It is so important that people realize the truth of how badly the system is hurting us and how inherent that is to the system, how the system was designed to function in this way, to … Continue reading Awareness
Alienating
When people tell you not to be ‘too angry’ in your activism so as not to ‘alienate’ potential allies, they are treating the privileged experience as universal. The truth is that for every privileged person alienated by anger, there is an oppressed person alienated by an endless willingness of activists to be polite to the people who … Continue reading Alienating
The exploitation part of Capitalism isn’t just that your boss profits by taking most of the results of your labour (you know, the ‘having to bake a loaf of bread in order to be able to afford a slice of bread’ thing) but also because your boss carries no responsibility for depleting your resources (energy, health, … Continue reading
