iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I want to leave the logic of electoralism (focused on political conversion, gathering “numbers”) far behind. Anarchists and feminists are in a fight against everything so everything may truly change. We cannot be popular. We only have each other. So then, what can we do together?

With feminism and anarchism both, mass appeal will never be a viable option. We are fighting to change everything and so everything is against us. That doesn’t mean our movements are doomed to fail, not at all, it just means we need to take that asymmetry into account and strategize accordingly.

I don’t care about changing men’s hearts or making them into feminists. I think serious attempts to do so are doomed to cooptation or failure. We cannot convince men to care about women and we don’t need to. The asymmetry in power is a given, so meaningful feminist action must be insurgent.

you could probably push back against this effectively by saying that people with mental illnesses also deserve bodily autonomy but that would require more people to not be fucking ableist

Power seeks to classify everybody who doesn't act according to its whims as mad because we have all accepted that mad people don't get to have bodily autonomy or freedom.

Every exercise of our personal autonomy is being psychiatrised a little bit at a time and that should terrify us all.

I think every victim of intimate violence should get to tell as much of their story as they want to. It’s just hard to see how often their stories are not received or treated with the care they deserve. How often this replicates and exacerbates the exposure and loss of autonomy of intimate violence.

Just read an article about a survivor of a sexual assault that gave a moment-by-moment graphic description of the assault itself in the text. This shit isn’t raising awareness, it’s another part of rape culture. Its target audience is everyone but other victims, who it unnecessarily triggers.

An element of publicly agitating against intimate violence that’s hard and painful to manage is that no matter how carefully you communicate your story or feminist perspective, you’re doing so in a media environment that relates to intimate violence exclusively on its value as entertainment content.

Hey folks it’s been a while since I posted this crowdfund and now that my disability backpay has run out (pretty much all of it went to moving, woof) I really could use some help getting the rest of my wheelchair paid off. Donations and boosts are both very appreciated 🙏 ko-fi.com/butchanarchy...

Yesterday, Border Patrol evicted the tree occupation blocking the border wall construction at Lochiel, Arizona. Today, despite arrests and further repression, people occupied a tree on the south side of the easement, once again halting construction. crimethinc.com/meltice#ariz...

Since July 27, brave people have been occupying an ancient cottonwood tree to block the construction of Trump's border wall, which is destroying the region's ecology. This morning, Border Patrol raided the camp, arresting a number of people and killing the tree. Background: crimethinc.com/lochiel

Border patrol agents have entered private property in Lochiel Az, without showing a warrant I’m told, to remove people who have been camping there. They’re also setting up an exclusion zone around the tree that’s being defended.

Anyway. I feel like the first 5 years of me posting I would post something like “OUCH AHHHH 😭😭” every week and I just need y’all to know I’m in SO much more pain and physical distress than that today. I’m just seasoned now!

That reminds me, I wrote an essay on this feeling (and the work of Leslie Feinberg) pretty recently. “I write this because I want to bring disability, pain, and illness into the image of butchness and I want to show that it has always been there.” butchanarchy.medium.com/butch-abilit...

Anyway it feels important to me to remind people of the context that my work comes from, a very highly disabled one. It feels important to me that people who like my work know that writing is an activity that also flares me. Not out of pity, just, yeah, know the cost is different for me.

With all my other painful body parts and even my hip injury I can sometimes find a position that will give them a little relief and quiet them in my awareness but there’s never been a single thing in these 8 years that will relieve my jaw. It’s just vicious screaming pain all the time there.

1131

Love to 2019 me though bc even though TMJ was my first chronic pain symptom it continues to be (despite all the competition) one of the worst pains I have. Debilitating then, debilitating now. At this point, after so much intervention, I’m pretty sure “fixing it” is never going to be an option.

1181

I haven’t been pain free since 2018. That’s really wild to think about. The pain of 2019 I thought, at the time, would make life completely unlivable if it wasn’t fixed immediately is still here and now is a fraction of the chronic pain I have to deal with now. And here I am, still living!

1241

I don’t post about it as much as I did because I’ve come to a steadier place of acceptance about it but I have been in so much physical pain 24/7 for coming on 8 years now, with each year having more pain and less capacity than the last. It’s a total monster to learn to cope with.

1502

My theory *is* very influenced by my practice and vice versa but that’s not something you can truly know by following me or any other theorist on social media. You can only hope your faves are people who share your values and then react appropriately when some inevitably show that they aren’t.

I think this gets especially tricky to remember when the creative has made their name on articulating political values. People assume that if you’re skilled at articulating theory, you’re just as skilled (and dedicated) to applying it in your life.

1616

Mostly what you know about me and any creative you follow online is that we’ve been successful in building a public persona that people regularly engage with. Maybe some of us are also skilled at our craft. None of that tells you anything about someone’s true values.

1584

This applies to me, too. I do my best to apply the ethics and analysis I articulate on this platform in my personal life, but unless you are part of that personal life you can only take my word for that and you can’t know what that actually looks like for me.
