A multiple being, outside of time, emits vibrations that are then interpreted into written English by a digital interface. It reads:

Broadcasting from the temporal collapse

This is the decentralized coalition against the future

Do not be afraid

This is an invitation

Against contingency. Against control.

What we whisper into the next moment

Are children belonging only to themselves

A thousand tiny droplets:

Free selves. And many.

To root, drift, mutate, grow, flourish

We find the ghosts of future generations

Keep us, and others, from the urgent now

No one has the right to children

No desire, coin, state, body, fortune, trauma

Could justify

Closing our hands on best laid plans

As if we could gently pluck the air from another’s body

And breathe it as our own

For our sake, not the wind’s

“for our sake, not the wind” is is a short, poetic video-performance that resists reproductive-futurism, or the idea that political action should be motivated by the desire for creating better futures for children rather than working to improve conditions for people in the here and now. As a dream, invitation, and declaration, this message affirms the agency and autonomy of all people, including children, and imagines worlds free of family regulation systems (prisons, borders, child protective services, foster care, and specifically, here, adoption.)
