Rec | GET INVOLVED!

☃️

Your community doesn’t have an activist collective? START ONE! You’re not sure what role you’d fill in liberation work? FIND ONE! You feel disconnected to the struggles and injustices in your community? GET INVOLVED! because it feels good because it fosters connection because it allows you to use any power or privilege you hold and lend it to those who need it most because when you don't utilize your privilege it rots inside of you like a poisonous bile and everyone can smell it BECAUSE THE FIGHT IS WORTH IT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE ARE WORTH IT BECAUSE YOU’VE GOT NOTHING BETTER TO DO BECAUSE YOU’VE GOT A MILLION THINGS TO DO because only you can provide to the cause in that specific way that you can and to anyone who is leaving themself out and forcing the rest of us to miss out on your skills and gifts that only you can provide COMMUNITY is the only way out of Imperialism and you hold more POWER than they will let you know of <3

Miss major speaks: conversations with a Black trans revolutionary

Read this book!!! “ ‘You have to give people who are new to this movement and to activism in general some way in.’ For some people, that’s going to a protest, or seeing a documentary, or reading a book, that gets them thinking, ‘Maybe I can do something.’ And so no, I don’t believe one person’s vote amounts to shit. But it can get people in the mindset of recognizing they can fight back against the Powers That Be in some way.”

don't act like a rebel, act like the pre-regime

so often i see folks in left-of-center spaces internalize the idea that they're "just a little guy." they make being the permanent opposition a core part of their self-image, and in their obsession with performing that opposition, they completely lose sight of the fact that the point of opposing the existing institutions and those who defend them is to replace them with our own institutions - ones that we will then be responsible for defending. no matter what your domain of interest is - media, academia, politics, technology, journalism, culture, or whatever else - it's simply not enough to spend all your time critiquing the dominant institutions, and it's also probably not necessary; most people already agree that they're shit. instead, you need to be spending that time and effort imagining what your alternative is going to look like, and how to make it more compelling, more durable, and more just than what we already have.
