Quote by Jamie Arpin-Ricci

“If you truly want people like me- LGBTQ+ people- to talk about our sexuality and gender less, you can help by making it unnecessary- by dismantling the ignorance and fear in your own hearts and minds, and by learning to embrace and celebrate the beautifully diverse expression of humanity for what it is. And it is good.”

Disfunctional am I, disfunctional are you, When disfunctional together, we function well. Fallen am I, fallen are you, When we fall together, we'll rise sure as hell. Let us go against ourselves in defying self-centricity. You be a nut, I'll be a nut, let's build a nutty community.”

“As the rich get richer, the rest of us will be left in increasingly precarious situations. In the global recession that is upon us, the powerful will double down on their control of state and cultural apparatus, They will be determined to repress, or co-opt, the tremulous expressions of resistance that are gaining volume as the people rise of against death. The issue of co-option is pertinent. Our articulations of dissent too often mirror the parameters of our oppression, reproducing oppressive systems, unwittingly reinforcing them, or indeed 'diverse' them, to make them more 'inclusive' when in truth the need to dissolve.”

“Diversity” has become a term of art, a symbol, one so powerful that the symbol is now more important than the thing it was supposed to represent. Wokeness sacrifices true diversity, diversity of thought, so that skin-deep symbols of diversity like race and gender can thrive.”
