Failure as Futuremaking is a new essay by GenderFail founder Be Oakley. 

Failure opens a landscape, a squalid space between the cracks. Failure is too dangerous, the opposite of security, it is mortal. Yet the very work of attaining even a small measure of security through conforming to white cis male desire is to participate in a system that has destroyed our homes, our communities, and our planet. 

Do we become failures in order to preserve a measure of autonomy? Or do we embrace success to live?
