So many people are doing so much. We just want to say thank you. Keep expanding the space of what is possible. Keep each other healthy. Keep each other safe.
Met up with some rad southern anarchists the other night. Have no doubt that the work will continue even as we adjourn the collective. It is reassuring to remember that Four Thieves is a node in a network. A thread in a web. A handful of starlings in a great murmuration.
