power to the peaceful — by flightlessblrbs
this monstrosity devouring our communities has a name, neighbor: it is wendigo.
wendigo is not a myth. never has been.
it’s story, ancestral wisdom, and its wisdom revisits us now, because our ancestors never left and they have been trying to get us to listen.
neighbor, it is time to listen.
the wendigo story isn’t about a mythic monster— it’s ancestral remembrance of a human phenomenon. but more than that, the story of the wendigo also offers a blueprint for collective liberation.
this is not my story. it is ours. listen.
Thanks for reading my work! If you like this weirdo’s content, follow me as I shift my content to a free Patreon, in order to get outside this nonsense, anxiety-inducing algorithm. Weirdo’s Patreon will go live October 13th. There you’ll find Weirdo’s blogs (including vintage weirdo archives from Substack), flightlessblrbs’s pro-democracy art, a new podcast called “My Weirdo Friends,” and a series of hosted community discussions to focus on the tactical art of neighborliness during times such as these.
