Desire is a place of not yet having: it’s in the becoming, the longing, the imagining…
Amy Scholder, Editor’s Note, “Essential Acker”

It is true that women are never men. Even a woman who has the soul of a pirate. Even freaks need homes, countries, language, communication. The only characteristic freaks share is our knowledge that we don’t fit in. Anywhere. It is for you, freaks my loves, I am writing and it is about you. Since humans enjoy moralizing over and over again they attack us. Language presupposes community. Therefore without you, nothing I say has any meaning.
