weary4u:

you can read old issues of sinister wisdoms here, you can read common lives/lesbian lives here, and from there look up women whose work you like (or women whose work you hate inspires you in some way!!). lots of them have published longer works you can get ordered to your library through interlibrary loan. get to know older lesbians and have reciprocal relationships where you both connect over mutual interests and share about your lives naturally (nobody wants to be related to primarily as an educational resource). if you live near a land project get involved, get to know the land community, and read the books there. getting in touch with different thought experiments and actual experiments in widely diverse ways of living and relating to each other is a really really great way to figure out what kind of direction and focus you want for your own work; it’s hard NOT to get inspired for projects (art, writing, organizing, etc) that represent continuity between different eras of lesbians.. which means we have more genuinely forward motion

how do we take action to connect to our intellectual legacy?

weary4u:

taking action is very obviously extremely crucial but if we’re totally disconnected from our intellectual legacy we’re going to waste a huge amount of time reinventing the wheel
