mya (they/she)i want to share some fantastic quotes from nick montgomery and carla bergman’s “joyful militancy: building thriving resistance in toxic times” because i’m nearly finished with it and it had given me so much to think about! (and many parts are eerily relevant to stuff i’ve seen going on on here recently.) so heres a thread of some quotes...
@myacg “the most widespread, long-lasting, and fierce struggles are animated by strong relationships of love, care, and trust. these values are not fixed duties that can be imitated, nor do they come out of thin air. they arise from struggles through which people become powerful together. as people force empire out of their lives, there is more space for kindness and solidarity.” (31-2)
@myacg “to be militant about joy means being attuned to situations or relationships and learning how to participate in and support the transformation rather that directing or controlling it.” (48)
Connie (they/them)@myacg this is excellent. very keen to read this alongside the radical feminist lit I have floating about (on shelves and in brain)
