It's a trick this space could use more of, recognizing the need for joyful outlets to remind one of what's being fought for.

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Joy as an Act of Resistance is a fantastic album from IDLES. Never Fight a Man with a Perm is one of my favorite songs about kicking Nazis (well, specifically alt-right toxic manfluencers) in the face, and Danny Nedelko restores my faith in humanity and reminds me why we fight fascists.
I love IDLES!
What a superb quote!
I recently read Pleasure Activism which does a lot about how to cultivate joy in your life. This joy is specifically cultivated in non consumerist methods. There's a huge section on making activism joyful to build community. It was a wonderful book.
P.S. I love Dan Savage. I read his column and listen to his podcast weekly. If you have never tried it it's amazing. He also started the It Gets Better Project
Where can I get some ACT-UP boots? I've already got the party attire.
