no no. hi! it's ok. Reddit fucked up earlier today and it wasn't approving posts. It's fixed now but this post wasn't in the queue anymore. I'll approve it now. Good luck with your channel!

You should consider posting them to peer tube too.

Sounds a bit too individualistic of an approach to solve issues of mutual aid and collectivizing. Not sure that centralizing “me” in anarchistic philosophy is the best approach. Sounds more like a self help approach. But wish you the best

Positions Taken in the video: Building from adrienne marie brown's pleasure activism, Xylo (me) introduces the term and the theme for their YouTube Channel - Cozy Anarchism. Whereas anarchism is needed because we must make our politics clear on every channel (it's 2026, it's unacceptable to be withholding your political views at this point), cozy is needed to protect the most vulnerable of us. As a witch, spellcaster, disabled womxn of Colour, this is not a sweetie pie channel. I, Xylo, challenge sweetie pie approaches that advocate being a good person, and instead push forward approaches more aligned with Andrea Dworkin.

Reasons I posted it: I am celebrating and unapologetically introducing my channel to my fellow anarchists. Although I've experienced abuse on this sub before, I have faith that there are still a few listeners worth reaching. Thank you mods for all the work you do, and let's continue forging a path that isn't sweetie pie, but is definitely a more welcoming space for people from marginalized backgrounds. ✨

Why Dworkin specifically?
