“Been thinking a lot lately about the "physics" of broad social movements. It feels like we’re in a strange lull, and I’m trying to parse whether that’s a sign of recovery or a symptom of a deeper tactical cycle we keep getting caught in.

I keep coming back to the idea of "Optimistic Passivity." It’s that collective sigh of relief the broad liberal-left coalition seems to feel in between the waves of acute, highly visible crisis…

The bonds we build in times of crisis don't magically become movements.

Shared experiences are not infrastructure. Infrastructure takes deliberate work to build & maintain. Infrastructure requires community, community requires conflict resolution skills.

Far too few people have the patience needed.”

Decades of feminism paved the road to Andrew’s arrest

"Without feminism, the sequence of events that led to Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest would never have happened. It’s a reminder that feminism is powerful and important and even transformative, which is why there’s so much pushback from those who benefit from the old inequalities and the old silences, which are pretty much the same thing." - Rebecca Solnit

"The work continues." >>
