Welcome to Wikifesto — where manifestos live, breathe, and evolve.

What Is This Place?[edit]

A manifesto is a declaration of intent. But intent evolves. Ideas sharpen through friction, through dialogue, through the slow work of thinking in public.

Traditional manifestos are frozen at publication. Wikifesto is different: each manifesto lives as a wiki, where:

Stubs become essays become movements
Every section can link to its own elaboration
Readers become contributors become co-authors
The manifesto grows with its community

The Manifestos[edit]

Braided Becoming — Identity is architecture, not archaeology
Against the Discovery of Self — You are not a hidden treasure waiting to be found

Philosophy[edit]

Philosophy should be done with passion, with gusto. Not locked in ivory towers, but alive in the streets—or at least, alive on the wiki.

The stub is not a failure of elaboration. It is an invitation.

+'''Welcome to Wikifesto''' — where manifestos live, breathe, and evolve.
-Hey there! I'm Sheila Bishop.
+== What Is This Place? ==
-Here's my secret: I'm a stand-up comedian who's been making people laugh for twenty years. Behind all those jokes and smiles? Depression and anxiety, for as long as I can remember. I know, weird combo. But humor has always been my coping mechanism. It's how I make sense of the world.
+A manifesto is a declaration of intent. But intent evolves. Ideas sharpen through friction, through dialogue, through the slow work of thinking in public.
-Vulnerability is my thing now. Not because I'm good at it—God, no—but because I've learned that hiding never works. The armor gets heavy. The jokes start to feel hollow. At some point, you realize the only way forward is to let people see the real you.
+Traditional manifestos are frozen at publication. '''Wikifesto''' is different: each manifesto lives as a wiki, where:
-Terrifying? Absolutely. Worth it? Yeah. It really is.

-I started sharing my mental health journey through my comedy and writing because I was tired of pretending. Tired of the "I'm fine" when I wasn't. Tired of making everyone laugh while I was falling apart inside.
-What I discovered is that I'm not alone. Not even close. So many people are carrying the same weight, wearing the same armor, telling the same lies about being okay.
-This wiki is for all of us. The ones who are learning to take off the mask. The ones who are terrified but doing it anyway. The ones who've figured out that being seen—really seen—is the only way to stop feeling so damn alone.
-I'll make you laugh sometimes. I'll probably make you uncomfortable too. But I promise to keep it real.
