New Intro Post kind of post
lane:
they/them, mostly. gender illegible, gender ungovernable, gender NOT valid. trans, queer and bi. collecting concepts of self-description because i enjoy them, resisting identities-as-borders. autistic and bipolar as a way of being and a psychic gift. disabled. white.
approximate location: southern great lakes region, mississippi river watershed, tallgrass prairie, Potawatomi land.
anarchist with nihilist, insurrectionary, and anti/post-civ sympathies. it's a toolkit for understanding the world and where i am in it, not a scripture to follow.
plants: ecology, botany, herbal medicine, gardening for food and habitat, ecosystem restoration as a practice of mutual healing between human and nonhuman living things inseparable from decolonization.
also: self-defense, art, my own strange personal spiritual practice, much vague discussion of Projects, constant attempts to learn one more interesting and useful skill.
being an entity on the internet:
if i'm not making sense it's probably because i have actual brain damage; thanks for your patience. online is often tiring for me. if i like your reply that's me nodding and going "mmhmm".
death to every state!
death to every empire!
long live anarchy!
no surrender!
and the moon was so big last night and i went out and walked around in the dark listening to the katydids.
interestingly the people with the most Scarcity Mindset in their worldview are often the least prepared for actual situations
here is something: the very real way that structures of oppression and cycles of violence close off our choices and take away our agency does not mean that complicity is the only option. it means to find the options - and they all might be kind of shit, still, i cannot promise you will find good options - but to find them you will need to look outside of the frameworks of what's familiar and permitted and into that unknown that follows from recognizing your current circumstances absolutely cannot be endured a moment longer, no matter what's beyond
a particular twitter discourse
no, keep going... please, please, continue publicly announcing that you'd have no ethical objections to working in the military industrial complex and that all it takes to turn you into a violent nationalist is a conditional offer of moderate comfort. go on, be upfront about it, it's useful information to know.
lane, appreciator of anarchy, chaos, and plants.
i have actually never calmed down in my life.
bipolar, bisexual, never binary.
general content warnings: weapons, strong emotions, all-caps yelling.
