Murray Bookchin: “The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.”

Image: A small, pretty English village. A girl with a bag on her shoulder runs towards a van on the other side of the village green. She says to herself "I've got to follow my heart and leave this sleepy village behind. A new life awaits on the open road, touring from town to town in a merry band of brilliant eccentrics!"

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.

Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.

Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Can someone lock me in a dungeon so I can continue to ignore all my responsibilities, but feel less guilty about it?

‘Locked in a dungeon’ is such a good sounding excuse

Trans kids aren’t raising your rent, making your groceries more expensive, or taking away your health care.

Republicans are doing that, all while giving billionaires a tax cut.

Trans rights are human rights. We should not allow transgender people to be treated like second class citizens. Intersectionality is a must.
