Fem-ifesto

  • Pests are any human or nonhuman animals considered out of place or at the margins of normativity and cuteness.
  • Humans who live with pest animals share the identity of the pest animals.
  • Humans and pest animals have co-evolved since the beginning of humankind.
  • Pests are unevenly distributed across race, class, gender, ability, and sexuality lines.
  • Changing our relationships to pests, physically and discursively, can aid in healing oppressions shared by human and nonhuman pests.
  • The standpoints of pests must be considered when decisions are being made about the control of pests.
  • Pest animals find humans to be more destructive than the other way around.
  • Not all pests need to be killed or controlled.
  • Pests are made up of matter.
  • All matter, organic and inorganic, exists within a matrix of other matter.
  • Pests are things.
  • Pests are intelligent.
  • Pests are not to be feared.
  • Pests are also struggling to survive in the globalized capital economy against industries created purely for their demise.
  • Pests deserve joy.
  • Pests are an untapped resource for holistic health.
  • Pests are not for medical experimentation to serve humans.
  • Art about and/or co-created with pests deconstructs animal hierarchies.
