Ten paces away no one can discern our words.
Only the Kremlin mountaineer can be heard
The executioner & murderer of muzhiks.
His fingers are fat as worms,
Words of lead fall from his lips.
His cockroach moustache mocks,
& the leather of his boots shines.
the zealous subhumans he manipulates.
They neigh, meow, and moan;
he alone rages and points.
Like horseshoes, he forges his decrees,
which he hurls at the head, the eye, the groin.
Osip Mandelstam's Epigram against Stalin.
Apropos of nothing.

These people - these women - their courage.
It's a sentence I couldn't dreamt of thinking ten years ago.

I want to learn ever more to consider as beauty that which is necessary in things: thus I will be among those who make things beautiful. Amor fati: let this henceforth be my love. affirmation!
Happy New Year - & Amor fati!

All of which is to say feminism is much older, stronger, and wiser than any of this shit.
