So anyway I was talking about hope—a fool's hope, as fascists like those in our supremacist court or the fascist who lives on your street or goes to your church would have it.
I think it's time for us to start thinking about what hopeful acts look like.
I know some things about hope that people don't usually talk about. The first one I already alluded to: hope repairs. In fact, hope IS repair; an irreducible part of the natural progressive act of repair.
I'm not sure what a hopeful act looks like in this context, but as for "hope fights" a number of trans ppl are actively getting ready to literally fight for our lives with whatever weapons are at hand.
I'm cleaning rifles next week.
