Raging Gorgon Posse |by Esmée Streachailt
I know I said we were going to go slow and think deeper, and we will, but times changed. All is change. Still slower than social, but a little faster than planned ;-)
You just know they plan to suck up all that US tax payer RnD money into their own ketamine-headed projects. You know that closing research university grants also closes the teach hospitals attached to those universities. In many parts of the colossal US the only hospital for 100s of miles. Maternity wards. NICUs. Heart surgeries. Brain surgeries. The mending of an adventurous teen's broken arm.
Domestic violence jumps on Super Bowl Weekend, and under despotic dicktator regimes. Domesticshelters.org can help.
Private security locking down federal buildings is a coup.
It will take bodies in streets, it will take deep general strikes, it will take long boycotts to make these galactically wealthy asshats, each wearing the ass of the next richest of them, to make them feel the rage and refusal. They think of us as the 'shit they grown their money in.'
Look at this adorable Vulva Queen with her scourge and her crossbow. Cutie-pie!
The Pixel Project confronts MVAWG and shares violence hotlines in all countries where they exist in their social media. They're on Bluesky, and probably everywhere.
The world-vibe shattering pain and confusion made from cutting off essential food and medical aid to the most dire suffering of the world. Are you getting that ants-crawling-your-back-and-back-of-your-head feeling like there's a huge predator standing stock still, eyes locked on you?
I think we need a Medusa Rising Mixtape. Send me your suggestions. I wanna dance at this revolution.
That's how I wake up now. My sex is defined by royal decree, but 'female' and 'woman' are scrubbed from websites, flagged in grants, fired from life-times of leadership, an the SAVE Act will take the vote from ~ 70 million US women. If you live in the US, call to encourage your senators to block it like a man in a bar you don't want to talk to.
The White House is still built of wood.
When we started this project there was a realistic hope that a Humane Being would be president in the US right now. We still believe that the levers and cogs of a liberal democracy are useful for feminists looking to get beyond it to a feminist form of world.
Doors can be blocked from the outside, too.
There are ways through other doors. There are still worlds breathing out there. Multisolving is a pathway. Stimergy, emergent systems, & mutual aid can still be the base for a new RadMatFem structure.
Looks like the technoauthoritarians, the Dark Enlightenment billionaires, the neo-feudalists, and their Yarvinist Betas in the christofashmanospheremilitia space are bent on murdering millions of random people rather than let history unfold.
They want to go to the 14th century. Take the feudal metaphor of the corporation and make it literal again.
Gaslit Nation and Andrea Chalupa have real steps and tips. Especially get your IDs and life & money documents gathered up and easy to take with you.
Something like 6.3 MILLION people live in the DMV, the DC metro region. The could rotate days and put 100,000 people in DC streets every day for the forseeable. The food trucks and local eateries remain delightful. One march on Presidents Day is not gonna free anyone or end anything (go, but don't take your phone). Marches haven't registered on a political scale since the 1970s.
Vulva Queen Warrior is from the 14th century. Medusa is much, much older.
The Attic tradition regarded the Gorgon as a monster produced by Gaea, the personification of Earth, to aid her sons against the gods.
The despot and his bosses think anything can broken, paved, and remade. Including people far away in Ethiopia, Gaza, Kurdistan, Sudan, Ukraine. Including people nearer in, say who live in rural communities where that university was your largest employer and its hospital was your only one.
Raging Gorgon Posse knows that this is a long fight and longer remaking after. I hope you are connecting, diggin in, figuring out how to be guérillères and zapatistas in these times, how to move like a proton, how to send a signal, how to get out of sight to be effective.
