Sulaiman’s stories to create Revolutionary LOVE®

Sulaiman’s working Definition of Revolutionary LOVE®

Painted curly arrow with a star

Revolutionary LOVE® (verb)

Unconditional. Unfiltered. Unapologetic. Beyond sentiment or romance, this is the daily, gritty practice of loving as revolutionary action. It demands imaginative existence for collective liberation: human and more-than-human, flora, fauna, and funga. It goes beyond any and all borders, barriers, binaries, and boundaries to embrace the purest form of care in motion.

Unbound. Unlimited. Unearthed. Disability is the most active form of Revolutionary LOVE®. Rooted in embodied Ṣabr (sacred endurance), Tawakkal (radical trust), Muqāwama (organised refusal), Anarchic Ijtihād (unauthorised reasoning), and Kaffārah (scheduled justice). It is sexy, spicy, and sacred: witty, joyful, grieving, fungally sporulating, decolonial, Indigenised, just, liberated, queering, heartful, subversive, pluriversal, and playful.

Unruly. Unknowable. Uncontainable. Beyond command and control, it is witnessing — not merely seeing and hearing — our inner and outer ecosystems. It seeks harmony above balance. It honours who we were, are, and could be, rather than what we are told we should be.

Misunderstood. Messy. Mysterious. Through Disability Justice, Funga Justice, and a wholehearted radical, accessible, and anti-oppressive praxis, it manifests as access intimacy, interdependence, and جگاڑ jugāṛ (South Asian term for bending rules through lateral, improvised thinking) in action. It is heartful, awe-inducing, and lived — not spoken.

Imagined, written, and shared in Crip Time

Brighter than Sirius: Disability, Revolutionary LOVE, and the Art of Blooming With Fungi is Sulaiman’s second book out of 25 different current book ideas Sulaiman has. Sulaiman’s first book started in 2019, is currently on hold and has been put in a safe place until further notice due to personal reasons. However, Sulaiman hopes to share it with the world someday, even if it’s in a different format, such as a blog post or an audio recording.

Instead, Sulaiman is currently focusing on writing and publishing their second book, Brighter than Sirius: Disability, Revolutionary LOVE, and the Art of Blooming With Fungi, in Crip Time. Watch this space.

Love empowers us to live fully and die well. Death becomes, then, not an end to life but a part of living.
