#anarcho radqueer

You don't have to be a marketable flavor of queer to deserve protection and basic decency.

You can be kinky and uncomfortable and taboo and still deserve community.

You can have unexplainable and demonized forms of queerness or "terrifying" identities and still deserve respect.

Nothing can take away your validity. Don't let anyone tell you how you are allowed to identify in good faith.

I support sex offenders and murderers who are in recovery because harm does not undo harm and all that stigmatizing and punishing does is tear apart communities and perpetuate trauma cycles

Cops profit off of trauma and violence and their purpose is to reinforce anti social cycles of harm and isolation

Abolish the death penalty, fuck cops, and start caring about your fellow beings.

Thinking about posting radqueer video essays some time in the future. I have a lot to contribute to anarcho-radqueer theory and praxis and I want to expand outside the tumblr data silo.

I find it interesting that a lot of safe spaces are starting to vaguely hear about the radqueer community. While not everyone understands it at first, people in these safe spaces I have visited have generally been open to radqueer ideological frameworks. I will continue to be a radqueer activist and promote a more nuanced lens of discussion.

I will no longer sanitize my queerness tor be more marketable or look good on a resume or look good.

Im queer as in freak. Im queer as in neglected touch starved shutin weirdo. Im queer in monstrous and inhuman but not unloveable. Im queer as in militantly optimistic even in the face of an uncertain doom. Im queer as in dating my animalshifter syscon headmates. Im queer as on kinky and paraphilic and abnormally enthusiastic about it. Im queer as in willing to humiliate/embarrass/inconvenience/bleed to stand in solidarity with others. Im queer as in feeling constantly marginalized and othered by white cishet spaces.

Im queer as in choosing to breath another day is an act of radical self kindness even though it's really hard and I still doomspiral. Im queer as in sticking to my ethical code even if it's different from society's norms of abuse and moral purity and virtue signaling even if it's inconvenient for me personally.

Im queer as in refusing to let people drive me into self hatred and conformity. Im queer as in all cops are bastards and gay cops are bastard pick mes who defend patriarchy and homophobia

Im queer as in fuck you. Im queer as in not your martyr for neoliberalism.

I'm queer as in unmarketable and unemployable.

The desire to do crustpunk squatts and hitchhiking and couchsurfing vs the desperate need to not be a homeless neurodivergent xenogender transfem without healthcare, hrt, and vitamin supplements to support my vegan diet and anemia (probably not sickle cell).

Either way, im still broke as fuck in car centric america and I don't want to be employed because I value my body and mind and time and community over any amount of money.
