“We can barely keep up with the onslaught of horrific news and losses, much less process them. We can barely keep up with each new twist and turn of the authoritarian knife, much less muster the capacity to fight all of its brutal manifestations.
Crucially, we can barely keep ourselves from falling apart, and often feel adrift or alone.Witness the sudden upticks in, for example, mental and physical health crises, breakups, suicidal ideation and suicides, and lashing out horizontally at one another. It seemed high time, then, to curate another zine, but now with the modest aim of helping more of us get through another day — with our ethics intact and our arms open to each other.
So I put out word in anarchist circles, asking for short and personal thoughts related to these questions: What’s helping you find direction and/or heart these days? What ethical compass keeps you steadily steering toward freedom for all, particularly given all the sociopolitical pressure to abandon that path? What polestar aids you in determining what practices to embrace while fighting and/or surviving fascism, especially in collective ways? Where do you find inspiration at the moment?”
