Buying copies of Radon through Foofaraw supports us just as much, if not more, than doing so directly. Plus you can browse closely-related other magazines and bundle them together

Now accusations of folks high up in HWA verbally abusing staff and laughing that if anyone self harmed because of it they'd learn a lesson. Everyone who heard that said at a meeting is complicit. Disgusting.

The biggest challenge of anarchism as a philosophy is getting those you speak to on the same page about the understanding of words. Anarchism the philosophy and anarchism as a common vernacular word are exact opposites. Anarchy never meant chaos. Still doesn't. It means order and self- governance

When a semi-pro journal goes down, we all feel it. New magazines pop up every year, but few make it and stick around to cement in the industry's consciousness. When a long-running publisher closes, it leaves a hole that takes a decade to fill.
