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.

We haven’t posted often, not because all of us don’t use social media, but because I have just had no thoughts in months.

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.

On December 9, 1842, Peter Kropotkin was born. An anarchist theorist and street fighter, he escaped from a Russian prison in 1876, which you can read about in our book Kropotkin Escapes. detritusbooks.com/kropotkin

“The sun rises. It is always doing that.” Isn’t actually a bad line, if it was in the context of someone melancholically dealing with daily monotony. But it is immediately followed by “awe” at new days and their “infinite grace.” Why are you being “startled” by something that happens all the time!

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.

Many MWB members are illiterate: Instead of reading they blankly scan the lines of text until meanings and images fall into their minds.

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.

Right wing conspiracies are always so boring. Instead of saying that bluetooth causes brain damage, the conspiracy should be that the Scandinavian android werewolf cult are slowly making us receptive for the upcoming worldwide transformation.

Roman baths were often not divided by gender and eating was apparently allowed since old chicken bones have been found in ancient grates. I promise to keep the Rome posting to a minimum, but please support bathing culture. I would have made such a good balneator…
