TERLINGUA MOON
November 25, 2024                    
by Terlingua Thinking Team

"I genuinely hope that… anti-trans folks someday experience the joy and liberation of being comfortable in your own skin enough to know that the liberation of others is no threat to you. Equality is not a pie; there is more than enough for everyone." – Charlotte Clymer, writer, military veteran, transgender activist.

"Practice corporeal politics. Power wants your body softening in your chair and your emotions dissipating on the screen. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them." - Timothy Snyder, On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century
