fight the dark that follows the fires. do it for the working class.

writer-worker of the global south. magickal radickalist.

the great maw of capitalism haunts us. let us express our emotions together. let us dream of a better world. then, let us fight for it.

through hingsajagra, decenter the centered. char the uncharred. break through all barriers. collectivize and swing the blade into a revolution.
