Was going through the anarchist library and came across an essay on opium that ended with this banger line.
A single sentence line by Artaud, after writing about the depravity of man, telling people to let him be depraved, writing: "In the meantime, fuck off."

Continuing the tradition of giving cats the credit they are due.
Picture of Yuri Knorozov, decipherer of the Mayan language, and his cat, Asya, who he credits with himself on the papers he published.

Having a printer is a constant cycle of “it’s so over” and “we’re so back.” Right now we are at the “we’re so back” stage.

I hate it when my family argues about politics at Thanksgiving. My Independent Dad is yelling at my Covenanter cousin for allying with the king while my Fifth Monarchist uncle keeps making cryptic pronouncements about the Book of Daniel, and here I am, a Leveller.

Nietzsche did this schtick 150 years ago but at least he was dedicated enough to write whole books about it.

As millions of Americans are about to lose their SNAP benefits, I am reminded of this quote by Emma Goldman: "Ask for work. If they don't give you work, ask for bread. If they do not give you work or bread, then take bread."

We should all become biologists so that we can learn to encode books into trees, cut out the middle man of cutting them down, just read the leaves.

one of the most consistent things I find in history is that if someone is really famous for something other than being an anarchist, their anarchism will be stripped out of basically every reference to them.

Gendered bathrooms are gender affirming care and I will argue this in front of the Supreme Court so I can eat a whole chicken in a nude bath with a panoply of people strigiling each other like they did in the balneae of old.

Happy birthday, Emma Goldman! On this day in 1869, the Lithuanian Jewish anarchist-feminist writer, philosopher and agitator was born. 🏴
An illustration of a relatively young Emma Goldman, facing forward, in shades of purple, wearing her pince-nez glasses. It is against a darker purple background and she is decorated with two red botanical designs.
