IMMUNOLOGY: vital antibodies
The ways in which we resist and counteract, and behave as though we are free, until and because we are. See our About page for more information.
Ecosocialism, Extractivism, and Dual Power
The state can’t do anything on its own, not even with the “best” person in power. Without social mobilization and organization, a left political party or leader will inevitably run up against limitations: the power of investors, the power of the ruling class.

Life, Death, and the Coming Calamity
Climate change is an invitation for all of us to recognize the reality that we’re in, and to ask essential questions of ourselves and each other. What is the meaning of life? What is the meaning of our death? How do we wish to live, and how do we wish to die? There’s no getting away from it.

Pleasure is Fuel, Pleasure is Freedom
I love that folks are in the struggle on the front lines but dancing with each other, singing with each other, making mixtapes. When we make decisions, we put on R&B and dance together.

Progress, Purity, Ego, Ecocide
