pinned post!
Yo, I am the self-appointed anti-social-media-manager of Monkeywrench. I am going to put the most minimal effort into this so that this account isn't entirely dead and one day might have enough followers that an important post might have meaningful reach. Follow this account so I can quit.

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.

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.

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.

Instead of reading posts, I recommend lining up the button to return to the top with the profile picture perfectly. All the healthy scrolling with none of the brain rot.

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.

All of this assumes democrats are opposed to cutting Medicaid. I'm begging people to look up the history of neoliberalism. Margaret Thatcher said her greatest achievement was Tony Blair!
