Welcome, Swankanator.
You've arrived. Or more precisely, you've been inducted.
This is not a newsletter. This is not a campaign. This is not some seasonal advocacy trinket covered in pastel pity and procedural hope.
This is the Mirror Court —
a ceremonial order of annotated vengeance, velvet dissent, and legally admissible whinging.
A jurisdiction of our own making. A place where punctuation is weaponised and silence is subpoenaed.
Here, we do not scream.
We file.
Here, we do not wait to be believed.
We record what happened before they forget they did it.
Here, documentation is divine.
Gold-toned contempt is the house style.
You are standing inside SWANK:
Standards & Whinges Against Negligent Kingdoms —
an evidentiary archive of bureaucratic harm, poetic injustice, and cultivated indignation.
Every post is a scar turned statute. Every letter is a refusal to vanish politely.
You were not supposed to keep the receipts.
You did.
Welcome.
If you’ve been gaslit by concern forms,
abandoned mid-policy,
or punished for speaking while disabled,
you’re already fluent in the dialect of this archive.
This is your velvet dossier.
This is your annotated revenge.
This is the place where the things they did get written down — without euphemism.
We file what others forget.
We respond where they don’t.
We write everything down.
Now begin. Or don’t. We’re not here to inspire.
We’re here to remember.
