we fast from sundown sunday through all of monday until sunrise tuesday, every week.

we do not attend to religion, motivation, experience, circumstance, hopes, dreams, feelings, thoughts, ideas, words, relationships, diets, special pleadings, etc.

we avoid discussing fftw with others, or fasting in general, especially while fasting, for action makes, speech unmakes.

it is likely that critical answers to our current societal problems cannot be evoked by new informaton (speech).

answers might, however, be convoked through disciplined habit (action).

fasting together, we hope our common discipline manifests an egregore that might bring answers into view for those who seek them.

the answers to almost all of your questions are some combination of the following:

• then don’t.
• it’s not about you.
• we don’t care.
• just fast and shut up about it.

q. who are you exactly?

a. we are anybodies and nobodies, and do not matter. that more people fast in common is what matters.

q. is this a christian thing, or a buddhist thing, or a jewish thing, or a pagan thing or a muslim thing, or a…?

a. no. be who you are, just put the fork down for a spell and shut up about it, while others do the same. this isn’t hard.

q. is this a health thing, or a prayer thing, or a spiritual thing, or a psychological thing, or a charity thing, or a…?

a. no. do it for whatever reasons motivate you, do it even in spite of yourself, just stop talking about it. action makes, speech unmakes.

q. is this a political thing, a social justice thing, a marxist thing, a weird cult thing, an education thing, or a…?

a. no. just push away from the table for a while and shut up about it, while others do the same. this really isn’t hard.

q. ackshually, fasting is unhealthy because reasons, look how smart i am with muh credentials and muh science and muh hyperlinks and muh peer review, etc.

q. why should i care about the world enough to fast for it?

a. good question. disciplined action in common might bring you and us closer to an answer in a way that informed discussion will not. good luck.

q. what if somebody like offers me food while i’m like fasting? like i’m at a party because i’m like popular and I just have to eat like out of respect because i’m like a good person, etc.
