We talk of the specter of fascism. But to see current events in this framework neglects that white supremacy and its attendant fascisms are not specters but American foundations. The specter, I hope, is Clark and ghosts like him—if we let them in and insist upon a profound rupture in this current reality. You can’t pin down a ghost. And you can’t govern a country that refuses to be governable—which disobeys, strikes, walks out. We can be ghostly this way, together.

 Natasha Lennard, The Radical Ghost We Need to Fight Fascism

[notsoterriblymisanthropic]

Be so full of life that it’s dangerous. Care for your friends recklessly. Never stop. Burst into stars. Build everything you schemed about together. Tear everything else down. Never stop. “Live how we want to. Account for real needs and desires whilst making a million and one sacrifices. Do anything for each other. Follow our own paths when we need to. Understand that, deeply. Do all that shit you’ve yearned after since childhood. Start a hunting club, spend a week in the woods with only our will and wiles, get off the goddamn computer, hold a neighborhood assembly in Rosemary’s, build a sensory deprivation chamber, fight so hard we don’t feel as if we’re going to explode all the time, make that the great American past time again.” – Clark Fitzgerald
