Something that's been on my mind for a while:

Yes, there is an overwhelming amount of violence being done by the capitalist colonial cisheteropatriarchal hierarchical state system. Yes, we as individuals can only be aware of the tip of the iceberg. Yes, what we do to resist, what we see others doing to resist, is small in impact and won't be enough.

But there's so, so much more resistance going on, by millions of anarchists all around the world, that we'll never know about as individuals. Accumulations of small things, spontaneous things, as well as organized, sustained, revolutionary efforts by anarchists whose names we'll never know. And we won't always ever see the impacts they're having on the world, either, especially if it's in a community far away. But even in you own community, you might not know what other anarchists are doing if it's not safe for them to be public about it. Every time we learn about a new movement or action, it's proof: our experience of resistance, too, is necessarily the tip of the iceberg. On it's own, your or my spreading of radical understanding, guerrilla gardening the neighborhood, or building a mutual aid system isn't going to end domination and establish an anarchist society. But the sum total of everyone's actions of resistance over time, developed into a plurality of cohesive revolutionary struggles, might very well.

This is not an excuse to do nothing, and leave everything to everyone else. This is a reason to do something, and know that there's real hope. So, instead of resigning myself to doomerist thinking about the trajectory of the world, I'm choosing to be inspired by my comrades I'll never get to know about. And, I'm choosing to do what I can to learn about revolutionary struggles I don't know much about, and lend my support in whatever ways I can, while resisting in my own community however I can.

@iBlame "The phenomenon of FP (facultative parthenogenesis), which some scientists have referred to by the shorthand of “virgin birth”,"
Which Scientists? The misogynistic ones? The ones in favor of the #CisHeteroPatriarchy ?

@chuls Putting the burden /blame on the victims is classic #CisHeteroPatriarchy at its finest.

@ginnyhogan I blame the #CisHeteroPatriarchy

Please send good energy to #Medicaid beneficiaries & advocates everywhere today. Between #midterms & #Talevski, what happens today will determine the course of access to #healthcare & other safety nets for people with low incomes. This is especially true for people of color, people with #disabilities, #LBGTQ+ people, and #women, all of whom disproportionately experience #poverty due to structural #racism, #cisheteropatriarchy, and #ableism. And please #VOTE.
