Alternatively, community time has a queer quality. Queerness, in this sense, means to be unconstrained, subjective, ephemeral, relational, subversive. Queer community time moves like a whisper network. Linearity gives way to forking, splitting, and recombining. Time doubles back on itself, multiplies, disappears. Queer community time is scalp-tingling déjà vu; it’s the fruiting of morels after a thunderstorm. Queer community time is the formation of critical mass for direct action. Queer community time is an uprising.
