LETTERS TO NORA DECEMBER, 1909 by James Joyce
1909. James Joyce lives in Trieste (Italy) with his family. End of October, he leaves alone for Dublin on a business trip, and stays there until the end of December. He makes a pact with his wife to write to each other erotic letters. The letters of his wife disappeared, but the ones he wrote were published in a now long out-of-print collection in 1975 – and, at the behest of Joyce’s surviving family, were never printed again. The transcriptions of these letters are taken from Richard Ellmann, Selected Letters of James Joyce, Introduction, Faber & Faber, London, 1975.

Transcending Anatomy #1 A Guide to Bodies and Sexuality for Partners of Trans People
Transcending Anatomy is a guide to help partners of trans people navigate bodies and sex. It starts by unpacking some common assumptions, then goes through strategies for understanding your partner’s body, what language to use, and what feels good for them. It also also talks about getting comfortable with physical contact, dealing with dysphoria, and creative ways to work within limits. It won’t tell you what to say and do during sex, or what your partner wants – instead, think of this as a starting point for challenging your own assumptions and talking about this stuff.

Join the Resistance Fall in Love by CrimethInc
“We must fight against these cultural restraints that would cripple and smother our desires. For it is love that gives meaning to life, desire that makes it possible for us to make sense of our existence and find purpose in our lives. Without these, there is noway for us to determine how to live our lives, except to submit to some authority, to some god, master or doctrine that will tell us what to do and how to do it without ever giving us the satisfaction that self determination does. So fall in love today, with men, with women, with music, with ambition, with yourself.”

Anarchist ideas are not dead things, to be viewed as a logical conclusion of certain ideas of justice, equality or “humanity.” There is no logical series, no precise and irrefutable argument that must convince a rational person. It is a certain relation to power, a certain disgust at authority and its pretensions, a certain sensitivity to the coercions of daily life that inform and inspire these explorations. That to a degree one must want to be anarchist, look toward revolt, have a desire to act and a feel for the immediate, a will for domination to not merely be resented but actively opposed—toward an eradication of guilt and other emotional forms of social control. That without these inclinations no logic would suffice to convince anybody, and that even if it did, enough belief in certain abstract ideas remains nothing but abstract as long as one does not engage with those other ideas through all parts of her awareness, in every aspect of her life, in defiance of the fear that is the final wall protecting society from all our passions, all our charged will.

Polyamory and Queer Anarchism Infinite Possibilities for Resistance
This article discusses queer theory’s relevance to anarchist sexual practice and why anarchists might critique compulsory monogamy as a relationship form. Queer theory resists heteronormativity and recognizes the limits of identity politics. The term “queer” implies resistance to the “normal,” where “normal” is what seems natural and intrinsic. Heteronormativity is a term describing a set of norms based on the assumption that everyone is heterosexual, gendered as male/female and monogamous, along with the assumed and implied permanency and stability of these identities. Queer theory also critiques homonormativity, in which non-heterosexual relationships are expected to resemble heteronormative ones, for instance in being gender-normative, monogamous, and rooted in possession of a partner. In this way, queer theory and practice resists the expectation that everyone should have a monogamous, cis-gendered, heterosexual relationship form.

The short instructional manifesto for relationship anarchy by Andie Nordgren
Relationship anarchy questions the idea that love is a limited resource that can only be real if restricted to a couple. You have capacity to love more than one person, and one relationship and the love felt for that person does not diminish love felt for another. Don’t rank and compare people and relationships—cherish the individual and your connection to them. One person in your life does not need to be named primary for the relationship to be real. Each relationship is independent, and a relationship between autonomous individuals.

“Anarchism is more than dry political theory. It is a set of principles by which we aspire to live. It is not just about challenging the status quo, but provides tenets through which we can solve problems and (re‐)define our relationships with the world around us.”
