“I want to stop smoking because I want to live, I can only love my comrades if I live, and I want to clean my room, I want to clean my room every week and make my bed and put peppermint in my hair to stop needing my inhalers and to inhale solidarity, and to eat the rich, I want to eat the rich, to cancel the rents, to know my neighbors and to know my neighbors are safe. I want to move like water, to move from unity to struggle to unity, to have no perfect world we haven’t fought for.”
