Love takes many forms: grief, resistance, rage, intimacy, pleasure. Far beyond what we’re conditioned to chase after—the illusion of false realities and perfect utopias.
There are many kinds of love the state cannot legitimize, let alone protect. The love preserved in the prayers of our ancestors. The love held in how we care for and protect the earth. The love carried in queer entanglements. The love found in the dreams of our future kin.
This is a meditation on that kind of love. The kind of love the state was never meant to hold and the kind we must refuse to let it steal from us.
