#queer commune

[bekandrew]

If I ever did the dream of joining a queer commune, I'd volunteer as tribute to be the laundry person. It's The one chore I rather enjoy and can pretty consistently do. Also the associated tasks of making and especially repairing clothing and other textile goods (including some upholstered things like couches) so they last longer. I'm multiply disabled but those are tasks that bring joy and I've found accomodations that mostly work for me.

(I also just sometimes miss the challenge of my time repairing things in my uni's theatre costume shop lol)

I just realized that my childhood desire to live on Nineball Island from Endless Ocean: Blue World was just an early iteration of the queer desire to live in a queer commune.

How an anarchist commune for queer people grew a haven in conservative rural Colorado

For about a year, the ranchers of the Tenacious Unicorn Ranch have called home a 40 acre plot of hardscrabble land about 20 minutes south of Westcliffe, the county seat of rural Custer County

i think the reason im so obsessed with the second burial mounds trip in the untamed is like. wwx literally just started a commune.

this mf told the corrupt people in power that they were stupid and when they didn’t listen he said ‘fuck y’all i’m out’ and he took all the working class people they’d imprisoned in a work camp and he took them to a place nobody would dare visit and he made a home out of it.

sustainable lifestyle blogs would kill to have what the wens + wwx had.

like he lives in a commune full of queer and marginalized people who aren’t oppressed within their homes anymore because they built a place where they’re worth something, and he has an adorable kid and his best friend, and his house is just, objectively cool, and he gets to invent stuff and be a mad scientist basically, and he has his found family while he does it? like, sure he doesn’t have his husband or his siblings, but they visit, and they’re happy to see him, and he has his trauma but also he has his happiness? because he and the people he lives with all worked to make that happiness and make a home, and make somewhere safe that they could do more than survive in.

like the whole time i watch that part of his arc all i can think is ‘fuck i want that.’

I just want to buy some land with a bunch of other queer people and start building a bunch of little houses together with a big greenhouse for growing food and we can rescue animals and eventually only visit the town for buying what we can't grow and selling our extra produce like... Is that too much to ask??

I don't know much about building or farming but I am real good for manual labor and also happy to learn like please this is all I want in life

Eventually my friends and I will have a commune set up, possibly in Washington?

Oooh. My research is geared toward a much warmer climate, but the basic principles are transferrable at least.
