• tumblr: but baby it's social outside

I went inside and I wrote: “It is midnight. It is raining.” It was not midnight. It was not raining.

We’ll stay up naked and show each other our scars and tell stories and I’ll love every part of you. Remember.. The things you hate about yourself, I adore.

Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives… and to the “good life”, whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.

“You think graffiti is ugly? Gigantic posters of ridiculous photo shopped guys in their underwear, advertisements for companies that exploit children in the third world, signs prohibiting your movement and telling you what to do, that’s what’s ugly to me. Advertisers and governments want to control you, graffiti artists just want to let you know they exist.”

The short definition of anarchy is democracy without the government. Most people love democracy already, and don’t like the government. Anarchism is a commitment to the idea that it would be possible to have a society based on principles of self-organization, voluntary association and mutual aid. It’s not the belief that we WILL have it, or that it’s certain, you can’t know that it’s possible, but you can’t know that it’s not possible, but you can still commit yourself to the idea.
