Pleasure Activism: The Politics of Feeling Good (Emergent Strategy Book 1)

We need to generate that. Desire and pleasure are two ways that we assert that there’s something worth living for. And the more we remind ourselves of that together, the more we generate together. How do we move from a dying body to a reproductive body?

Cause we are species. On a species level, I can feel there’s not a story for our survival in the cards and in ourselves right now.

Now I’m starting to look back at history and be like, those motherfuckers were not getting along. Cause it is so hard to find people who actually get along, even if the work is in conversation.

You can shift roles. You don’t have to be the same person, in the same line, every time. We can metamorphosize as we’re doing this. This feels very powerful to me. This is what I’m witnessing. I’m not saying it hasn’t happened before. But it’s happening now. This is a moment.

Like this is, we are, constantly communicating what is possible. And people are also identifying the level of risk they are willing to take.

“What are we going to build? What are we going to create?”

This is the unveiling, and at the end of the unveiling, we have nakedness.

keep saying, I don’t think things are getting worse, I think they’re getting uncovered.

We’re not meant to suffer alone. We’re meant to experience pleasure and togetherness.
