Reactionaries love talking about “knowing history” when what they mean is being indoctrinated into a founding myth. It truly unites all nationalists, from Albion to Zion.

This week’s patron exclusive is about our efforts to create an interactive map of the Fifth World — including the GeoJSON files we’re using to create 216 feet of sea level rise and the ice-free coasts of Antarctica and Greenland. www.patreon.com/posts/144632...

It’s World AIDS Day today. We’re thinking about the practices our communities have developed to keep each other alive—and the shifts we need to see in public health, from small groups to large institutions.

In this week’s free post, @giuli.revolutionarygames.co talks about the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) and how it inspired us to envision the Fifth World as a jungle planet from pole to pole — and the positive role humans can play in shaping that future. www.patreon.com/posts/144610...

"My leftist values are meaningless and hollow if my praxis doesn’t include masking - not necessarily for me - but for my community. [...] We are nothing without community, without each other. I mask so that I do not disable, maim, or kill anyone else."

You just died, the sixth picture in your camera roll is what killed you. NOOOO, my little park buddy!

This Thanksgiving—observe the National Day of Mourning. From 1819 to 1969, US Govt stole tens of thousands of Indigenous kids—forcing them to convert to Christianity & stripping them of their identities. Resistance was met with violence. Sexual abuse was rampant. www.qasimrashid.com/p/thanksgivi...

I feel you, ancient Mongolian ceramic hedgehog. I feel you.

Every year Thanksgiving devolves into a huge argument between the family members that think Tom Bombadil is a superfluous tangent and those shouting he’s essential LOTR worldbuilding

You caught Covid for the first time, there is a section for that if you scroll down. Plus so much more. @autisticstarfruit.bsky.social

HEY EVERYBODY I wrote a story about Beatles and also beetles and also historicity! And you can read it for free if you become a Patron, or for $3 if you don’t wanna. I am actually really proud of this one, which is rare for me. Usually I hate everything I write, but I think I did OK with this one.

“The last word about revolution was not already written, nor will it be written if we willingly hand ourselves over to forces working to make sure they control what we think.” Columnist @williamcson.bsky.social explains why resistance starts with choosing how we listen, not just how we speak.

As the year comes to an end, I'm reposting some of the comics I made this year, including this ridiculous thing.

All of us here at Revolutionary Games live in the US, where this week we have a holiday that is (ostensibly) centered on gratitude, so @jason.revolutionarygames.co takes some time to talk about gratitude and the things that we’re grateful for. www.patreon.com/posts/144221...

We always see a surge of infectious disease, including COVID, RSV, etc etc around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Unless you want to gift your fam with a few weeks sick this year, mask up as you travel!

I cannot agree enough. It’s no coincidence anarchism has been equated with random chaotic violence. It’s imperative that power never let the masses understand what is possible.

Seals singing in a sea cave #Orkney 🦭🎧

Found my doctors appointments got less frustrating once I started going in like “I really want to play badminton again 😢 but I can’t even push a cart around the grocery store 😢 and I’ve hit a wall where no matter what I do I can’t seem to increase my exercise capacity 😢 and it makes it hard to work”

Adding these to the list of things I’ve learned today… the RCKI’s were singing in the sunshine as they always do when they first show up... That’s always so badass to hear… and… I can whistle through the gap in my teeth well enough to piss one off with my RCKI impersonation. 👀😂🪶

We weren’t meant to thrive in a fast paced work environment we were meant to collect berries in the summertime and lie down for a whole day after mistaking the bad orange mushroom for the good orange mushroom

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

I’m telling you, save the Marxist analysis for later and just enjoy how fucked up the reactionaries are right now. It’ll all be shit again by tomorrow. Just enjoy this reformist socdem wilding out a little and triggering the funniest wave of reactions

Conspiracy thinking is a toxic mimic of critical thinking. People who aren’t good at critical thinking can easily mistake conspiracy theories for skepticism; after all, you’re questioning The System! But that’s not the same as trying to understand how the system works, as this article points out.

Earlier today, I was notified that someone was at my door. This is who it was:

Rolling out the Matt Christman quote from after Charlottesville (2017) again:

If you read the article here, what seems to have happened is that the FBI had direct access to a person who was in the group. It doesn’t say whether the person was an infiltrator or whether the FBI got them to share info some other way.
