Intro

How do we survive in a world that is making us sick?

Inside these pages, you will find mental health first aid as collective resistance. Dance as bodily rebellion. FLINTA* spaces questioned and reimagined. WUTCH rituals that turn herbs into anti-patriarchal spells. Testimonies of navigating medical systems that claim ownership over trans bodies. Stories of sexual violence and the refusal to carry shame. Practical steps for surviving repression in Luxembourg. Rest as sabotage of capitalist extraction. Community care as infrastructure for hope. Strength training as self-empowerment.

This is not about fixing ourselves. It is about understanding that anxiety, rage, dissociation and grief are rational responses to structural violence. It is about remembering that resilience grows in shared meals, protest debriefs, gyms, dance floors, reading groups, whispered secrets, and loud laughter. It is about reclaiming pleasure, movement, autonomy and softness in a world that profits from our exhaustion.

Fascism thrives on isolation. We counter with connection.
Fascism thrives on control. We counter with bodily autonomy.
Fascism thrives on fear. We counter with joy, creativity and action.

Survival is not passive. It is relational. It is political. It is embodied.
