belatedly, but truly 🌿✨ (day 6 of anarchism and pigeons)
Colored pencil drawing. View from above. Elegant Pigeon with anarchist CNT FAI hat flying over islands, through clouds. It holds a black flag. Text reads: “Every day should be Earth day.” The “a” in earth is the anarchist A symbol.

Ursula K. Le Guin: "If it is the future you seek, then I tell you that you must come to it with empty hands… You cannot buy the Revolution. You cannot make the Revolution. You can only be the Revolution. It is in your spirit, or it is nowhere."

You're probably wondering again... Why is Optopia so quiet? Well, we're working on a lot right now... Some projects are slowly being created for our supporters but mainly we're studying this year.

One member of our team is back at university to study mythology. Another is neck deep in studies on myth, eco-spirituality, eco-feminism, technology, social ecology, and herbalism. We hope to come back with a ton of new ideas to share with you all as soon as possible. 💚

In the meantime, you may spot us on various corners of the internet from Advaya to the Institute of Social Ecology. We're still working hard, it's just behind the scenes at the moment.
