Shabbos reading this week was actually mostly watching cartoons because of top surgery recovery, but I did read a bit of this:

Shabbos re-reading

Super fun zine we just put out over at @tangledwilderness.bsky.social called “Mushrooms After a Rain” about the Jewish anarchists of Bialystok. I love it as a historical piece and also because I got to do these cute little portraits of some of the anarchists 🖤

there's now a really beautiful double zine (turn it upside down for a second zine) available of two of my essays. one is the history of may day, one is called "anarchism and its misunderstanders" www.tangledwilderness.org/shop/p/hurra...

The author of How To Do It Anyway, Hazel Acacia, was on The Beautiful Idea this week! thebeautifulidea.show/self-managed...

If we're going to revive 16th century insults can it please be the informal second person pronouns, and not archaic ethnic slurs? We all miss being able to insult someone of higher status by calling them "thou" to their face.

This week on Live Like the World is Dying, we have part two of a crossover episode with the Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness podcast, with our monthly featured zine "Martyr Culture" by Sara Blum, an essay about the culture of life in the Kurdish Freedom Movement and Sara's time with the YPJ.

Shabbos reading: The Fold by Peter Clines Shabbos weaving:

It’s nice to see so many people covering the border and immigration but like, I am seeing so many people fall for rumors and myths that haven’t been true for years. A friendly reminder that some of us cared about this when the blue team was the one putting people in freezing cold camps with no food

I think this is one of the most challenging and important books we’ve published. I hope people read it and are as moved but it as we’ve all been over at Strangers. 🖤

Shepping major nachas for one of my favorite humans this morning 🖤

Liberals gotta stop worrying about how actions will be perceived by whoever they think they're trying to convince. They can do a vigil for "Please Consider Not Shooting Kids" and the right will still say it was a leftist riot, with enough AI slop to make people believe it. Just do things that WORK.

This list is rad. Thanks for including us @igd.bsky.social!

My latest zine: “Shades of Love” DM me your email for the free PDFs. Thx to @dioishh.bsky.social for gorgeous cover art, @hey-casandra.bsky.social for turning my layout into PDFs & @tutusntinyhats.bsky.social for this photo! For post, see @cindymilstein on IG or kolektiva.social/@cbmilstein/...

Anyone in the streets to protect their neighbors is a fucking hero.

Fuck ICE Victory to the rebels And remember that the only people "doing what the state hopes we do" are the people trying to discredit a diversity of tactics.
