I was talking to my partner, who is anarcho-adjecent, about how she became sympathetic to anarchist ideas. For her it was through her getting to know me, and then other anarchists, a lot of long conversations where I challenged some of her perpsectives, and she also pushed at some of the places where I was, shall we say, ideologically rigid, so it was a relational thing. I found that interesting, as my entry points (beyond the absurdly cliche punk rock and Food Not Bombs) was periodicals like AJODA, Green Anarchist, etc. which pushed me into uncomfortable ways that Crass and Keith McHenry did not. Much more theoretical, I guess.

As far as finding people and projects, it has largely been accidental feeling to me. I am not real good at the social stuff, and some of the projects I have been most involved with seemed to just be things I fell into. Some of the anarchists I have the most affinity with I just happened to meet through other acquaintances or because we were in the right place at the right time.
