Borscht Belt comic: Boy I tell ya, the manufacturing economy in the United States sure is dead. Audience: How dead is it? Borscht Belt comic: Why, these days they don't even bother to manufacture consent! *rim shot* (Comic is dragged off-stage by a big hook, deported to a black site)

I hope you all enjoyed your celebration last night. We spent ours in the traditional way; disguised as thematically appropriate ghosts, terrorizing the wealthy.

Hot Girls Stab Nazis 🗡️ ✸✸✸

shoutout to this episode for prompting me to grow sunchokes for the first time, an endeavor the fruits (roots) of which i have finally been able to savor this past week

Ok, here's a pitch: comment with a screenshot showing that you have donated any amount and I will tell you the Official Anarchist Take on the question or topic of your choice.

This week on Live like the World is Dying, we talk about doxxing, what it is, and how to prevent bad actors of all kinds from using your identity, information, and digital presence against you and your loved ones.

A skill I would really like us all to cultivate is saying "I don't think this is a great tactic, but I agree with the cause," and then just moving on with our lives.

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. 🖤
