Now that S2 if officially over: questions!
Loooootta folks in this season! I can't promise they'll all be at the QnA, but ask anyway! I can always read their answers out or have them
Send ‘em in! Because we have to close this form in just 2 weeks!
S2E1 airs this Saturday at 13:00 BST! 🎩
Free Palestine protesters shut down the Golden Gate Bridge and 880 freeway in Oakland. This is huge🫡
Guess who forgot to do a character intro again? But it's okay since I have another married duo I can introduce in one set
Today I'd like to introduce Brightmin and Cai! My favorite thing about writing married people is that they get to be annoyingly sweet with each other. It is a hallmark of my writing. If characters are married it's all nicknames and fondness because I am nothing if not a hopeless romantic
Brightmin and Cai find Silver after he plummets down to not-quite-earth (their lines were in the audition lines 👀) Brightmin's name is one part fantasy-ish bullshit and one part me listening to the Beetlejuice musical on repeat and loving Alex Brightmin. Cai is purely pulled from my love of @chainofbeing and my admiration of @/mynameisnotcai. They are a sound wizard! Of course I named a character after them! It was legally required!!!
Brightmin is being played by the incredible @/littlescampotd. Ollie is 1) an incredible VA and 2) cool as hell. Cai is being played by @/Crn_Exe. Corrin also an incredible VA and also cool as hell. I'm once again struck by how lucky I am to have the incredible people I have in my cast <3
That's all for today folks! I promise I won't forget tomorrow :)
“IT IS MISGUIDED TO PRESUME THAT AN ANARCHIC WORLD, A WORLD IN WHICH, FOR classical anarchists, the State is eliminated—or a world in which, for Black queer feminist anarchists, racial capitalism and cisheteronormative patriarchy is overturned—is the ‘end’ of anarchist pursuits. Anarcho-Blackness, with its disruptive disorderly conduct—its mode of conducting itself as, in other words, disorderly—advances a critical praxis that answers the fundamental political question, ‘What is to be done?’ Kind of. The question ‘What is to be done?’ demands an answer, not that the texture, tenor, or terms of that answer can be readily discerned. Nor does admitting this exculpate us from needing to, nevertheless, provide an answer.”
–Marquis Bey, “Anarcho-Blackness: Notes Toward a Black Anarchism” (2020)
“So why is there no ‘end’? [..] Refusing to bank on the ‘end’ is, at least in part, how to proceed. ‘An abdication of political responsibility?’ Moten and Harney write, anticipating the accusation. ‘OK. Whatever. We’re just anti-politically romantic about actually existing social life.’ I submit that one’s concern must be an ethical one that—to supplement an oversight in Moten and Harney—not only sets its sights on social life that ‘actually’ ( shiver at the hubris of this word) exists but, more substantively, fertilizes the conditions of possibility for otherwise and unsung and unknown emergence.
[¶] There is no ‘end’ because to know the end is to think one knows the totality of the landscape, a line of thinking that cannot account for that which falls outside the dictates of legibility. There might always be something else just outside, and we cannot close the discussion when we think it is over. Fugitive planning plans for what it cannot plan for by refusing to plan for it. So there is no end in sight because sight is not the only sense available to us. (But there is also no end in touch, smell, feel, or taste—or any other ‘sense.’) There is no end in sight because our end may only be someone else’s beginning or middle. Thus, our critical praxis, our interrogative social enactment, does something precisely when it commits to a political endeavor proliferating life where no life is said to be found.
And the ‘where’ of ‘life where no life is said to be found’ is the place brought about by abolition. Abolition is fundamentally anarchic [..]” –Ibid.
“The revolutionary call that Moten and Harney require and that I’ve been obsessed with is this: they insist that our radical politics, our anarchic world-building must be ‘unconditional—the door swings open for refuge even though it may let in police agents and destruction.’ As my grandmother might quip, what kind of foolishness is this? But it is not foolishness precisely because the only ethical call that could bring about the radical revolutionary overturning we seek is one that does not discriminate or develop criteria for inclusion and, consequently, exclusion. If the door swings open without a bouncer checking names, it means that whoever shows up will be let in, unconditionally, without conditions. The ethical demand here is to be monstrously inclusive, a lesson learned in the Black Radical Tradition, Black feminisms, and trans activism. Yes, the Law might send agents to infiltrate our conspiratorial sessions. Or, even worse, as has happened, our enemy might show up and sit with us in prayer before gunning us down. But, at the same time, a salvational figure might show up or, better yet, a fugitive might show up, asking us to provide her refuge and a safe harbor. And we must let her in—this is what is to be done—we must feed and shelter her, because this fugitive, any fugitive, might be the one we didn’t know we were doing all this insurgent conspiratorial work for.” –Ibid.

“What we mean by revolution is an outburst of what today is called ‘evil passions’ and the destruction of the so-called public order.
We do not fear anarchy, we invoke it. For we are convinced that anarchy, meaning the unrestricted manifestation of the liberated life of the people, must spring from liberty, equality, the new social order, and the force of the revolution itself against the reaction.” –Mikhail Bakunin, “The Program of the International Brotherhood” (1869)
—
“To take praxis seriously, a praxis that has as its never-ending end the proliferation of nonnormative life and the livelihood of the unemerged, is to risk what we ultimately come to. We cannot be afraid of what we find in our critical praxis precisely because, if it commits to the aforementioned, it will indeed be scary and impossible to prepare for. That is the work of the monstrous—a liberatory, unanticipated salvation, that troubling interrogation of gender Susan Stryker finds in the trans; that divine portent that Derrida would argue is unannounceable, which is to say untamable, unable to be absorbed into existing logics; that claimable thingliness that Hortense Spillers says might ‘rewrite after all a radically different text.’ Critical praxis in the undercommons—insurgent work being done by folks who were let in without paperwork and without vouchers because they, despite where they came from, got down to work for the revolution—is work for monsters, monstrous work.” –M. Bey, Ibid.
“What I am asking for is a willingness to move toward becoming subjectivated by an analytical queerness, a radical transitivity, an anoriginal Blackness, where Blackness names a sociopoetic force of subversive irregularity and, as Moten expressed to me in an email exchange, ‘must be claimed by any and every body’ who seeks to do anarchic work. What is being asked for, what is to be done, is a Blackening that inducts all those who live and be in the undercommons, stealing life so it can steal more life, pilfering resources and asking no permission, taking no responsibility, because the ones who need this stuff might not know they need it, and neither do we. But if we must hack into government security systems and disseminate the firewalled information, that is what is to be done; if we must lie about the destination of funding we are given, allocating it to unauthorized and unadvised and undisclosed locations, that is what is to be done; if we must sully ourselves by hanging around a bad crowd that is bad only because the good’s violent optics and ethics deem it so, then that is what is to be done.” –M. Bey, Ibid.
