A BETTER FUTURE begins in the cracks of a crumbling empire. Through acts of community care, action, and refusal, we cleave the cracks open wider across time and space. We let the future rush in, just as our ancestors did, and just as our children will. The future is iterative. It was yesterday, it is tomorrow. It is here.
