Society of the Sane

Stage 2 · Private Forum

We welcome those who feel unheard, overlooked, or cast aside. Here, your thoughts can rest without judgment, your words can linger without interruption, and your voice is held with care.

Fret not about the loud, the needy, the authoritarians, the fear. You are a gift to not be taken for granted and to not be overreacted to.

    Use clip corners so staples don’t tear sleeves. Lavender gloves snag less.

    Make two copies: one sealed, one for quick reference.

The box smelled like hot dust. We print, we staple, we file, we breathe. Then we delete.

Full Manifesto

We the Society of the Sane watch as you tear and yell, grabbing each other and flinging them aggressively as if nothing were to prosper. We wear our deafening headphones and shake our heads, giving up the search from your mind and logic before the search even started. We will give up on violence and shut down. We walk away as you throw your pitiful symphony of clicks, snarls and growls.

We watch as you let your violent urges and lust to be correct rebel against your own worth as one of the same species as us. Clicking your claws and snapping your larynx with a growl you can never take back. We will not agree with you, and it is naturally hard to respect you, but we are the Society of the Sane, and we will live instead of survive by respecting you. But we will not listen to you before you listen to us. It is your job to take that first step.
