Roslyn Commons now has a Little Free Library with space for books and seed. A massive mihi to my partner, K, for all the mahi she put into making it. It's now at its home and look how happy the crew is! #littlefreelibrary

The 10 IRA and INLA hunger strikers who died in 1981 survived for between 46 and 73 days. These Palestine Action hunger strikers in the UK have been on strike for 45, 59, and 66 days.

Patience is rewarded. Pātaka Kupu is out-of-print and if it ever comes up online, copies go for over $100. Jan 7th and I've already had my best score of 2026.

Hate to say it, but we all have a new responsibility. I don't like it any better than you do. We have to make a good faith effort to find out if videos or images are real before we share, and delete if we find out after the fact that we shared AI. It sucks.

Just needs some kind of artwork on the gable/eave and then it'll go to the community garden at Roslyn Commons at this Saturday's working bee. #littlefreelibrary

Got a reality check from my Venezuelan cousin and took down a lot of what I posted. Right now, a lot of Venezuelans want a moment to celebrate even if the means were fucked and the future isn’t necessarily good. It’s been so bad there for so long.

Journalists speak on the repression of & resistance of the Mazateca community to a power grab in Eloxochitlán de Flores Magón in Oaxaca, Mexico beginning in December 2014, plus the related case of #MiguelPeralta and the recent death of #YorchEsquivel. thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org/post/2026/01...

Reminder to pre-order 200, or five, or one copy of The Misfits - A Sea Monster Conundrum. Be the first to find out about the ghost sighting, sea monsters, awkward bake sale, and a devious billionaire criminal named Odious! @dansantat.bsky.social @randomhousekids.bsky.social #Misfits #KidLit

WIP WIP WIP so close now! #littlefreelibrary

If you have the chance to read this book, you should. It's really fuckin' good. The concluding essay, 'Martyr Culture' by Sara Blum, is moving. There are lessons here that should be absorbed and utilised. @tangledwilderness.bsky.social

WIP update. Corrugated iron roof and painted. Needs a door now. #freelittlelibrary

WIP - Free Little Library for a community garden. Maybe bit of pātaka kai, seed library, trad library, sky's the limit!

I know we're sposed to cancel Chomsky, but this is ace. Fave chapters were about the OWS Library and student loan debt. Chomsky puts me to sleep, but bite-sized illustrated pieces really work in translating Chomsky's ideas.

Impatient fossick in the potato mounds...

Guess I'll post this again

This is awesome. Loving it.

'Anarchists in Love' is the story of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman's life together, describing all the pivotal moments that happened during it (Goldman becoming a leading orator, Berkman's failing to assassinate the businessman Frick and spending 15yrs in jail for it). Fiction but great read!

Same as Aotearoa.

my yearly reminder (to myself mostly) that The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) was formed by 6 (SIX!!) people, on this day, November 17th, 1983.

When we take the bait and engage in US culture war shit here in Aotearoa, this is what we're inviting. The COVID cookers already have an alter-culture relying on conspiracy and hate and in a weeks time we'll find out how many of them were elected to local councils.

Winston blaming the NZ Greens for his broken window for standing along side people he deems as inciting harm against him… Dude legit got into parliament by aligning himself with violent cookers who hung a noose up for JA, defecated on beehive grounds & set fire to a kids playground. #nzpol #Winston

I don’t think I’ve ever met a more hectic reader than myself. I started reading 14 books in the past two months and just started three more in the past two days. Have I finished reading any of them? No. Am I confused and trying to read them all at the same time? You bet.

Sharon Murdoch on point as usual #NZPol

Remember: fascists survive via their tough strongman aesthetic. Undermine it. They’re small, pathetic cowards — too afraid to stand up to Donald Trump and Netanyahu… Let’s make sure everyone knows that these guys are shaking in their boots, they’ve no bravery or spine #nzpol #freepalestine #gaza

Statement from the organisers of the Auckland Harbour Bridge protest march #NZPol

Some Jewish reading for your Rosh Hashana!

Rather than permitting the Trump administration to frighten us out of resisting, we must understand this broad, vague, and performative executive order as an effort to intimidate. It should catalyze us into urgent organizing, not paralyze us. Only collective action can keep us safe and free.

@jamesstout.bsky.social sits down with Frances to hear firsthand what it is like for families of people in the asylum system right now and how even U.S. citizens can have their families torn apart by the Trump administration’s anti-asylum policies. www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

Very helpful episode for anyone in the US and beyond to meet this moment. We are stronger than we often think we are. pca.st/episode/be64...

I've always loved physical media because it meant I wasn't tied to or dependent on a streaming service. No internet? I still have every (console) game, movie and CD I've ever bought. Used bookstores have TONS of media right now because so many people have switched to streaming in the past 10 years.

Gorillaz say FREE PALESTINE

the strongest pushback is coming from the right because media figures and electeds on the left are currently cowed by fear

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

No notes

Posting a criticism of Charlie Kirk - much less noting something outrageous he himself said - is not “celebrating” his murder. Nor is it condoning his murder. It is simply saying that his political career and legacy are not something to be celebrated. And that is not the same thing at all.

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

Almost none of my students knew about the Minnesota assassinations. Zero of them knew about the CDC attack.

"You're an interesting species. An interesting mix. You're capable of such beautiful dreams, and such horrible nightmares. You feel so lost, so cut off, so alone, only you're not. See, in all our searching, the only thing we've found that makes the emptiness bearable, is each other." - Carl Sagan

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”

It's unsurprising that Bluesky would be reactive and heavy-handed about people who aren't heads-in-hands bawling their eyes out about this scumbag. Bluesky isn't a safe haven. It's a "better Twitter", but that's all. Bluesky will fuck you like any other social media platform. Rest in Piss, CK.
