“Creativity can be reclaimed as a collective, democratic force—one that transcends the individual and becomes a shared resource for community-led movements, grassroots innovation, and resistance to oppressive systems.”
Frankie Saturn, You Are Creative: Free Yourself to Free the World

Abhijit Naskar
“Never tolerate AI slop as normal, just like you no longer tolerate the nazis as normal.”
Abhijit Naskar, Hazrat-e Humanity: The Uncultured Polyglot
