Tiamat put out an issue of the national newsletter called Anarcha-Feminist Notes and organized an anarcha-feminist conference in 1978 in Ithaca, NY. This conference brought together anarcha-feminist collectives from across the country to develop their theory and practice, 2/

局势：俄罗斯关闭大片黑海和几乎整个亚速海进行军事演习。
2月13日至2月19日，俄罗斯计划在黑海地区进行 “导弹和大炮演习”。当地记者担心俄罗斯正准备从海上封锁乌克兰港口。
自 2021 年 10 月以来俄罗斯一直在乌克兰边境附近增兵，现在在周围有大约 140,000 名士兵。

It's probably a pretty low bar, but I got the transcript of my conversation with Zerzan up on the anarchist library which makes me happy:

@rechelon's essay on anti-civ was really valuable going into the conversation and @SolarpunkA thanks for the work you do, as I was basically arguing for a solarpunk future as the highest realisation of our character virtues, so worth working through modern day suffering. #Zerzan

These mini book reviews are new for me. One of the reasons I launched a Patreon is to do new things with my writing and to make more videos like these FEMINIST GIANT Dispatches from the Pandemic.

This text is mostly dedicated to how I think on a perfect Utopia for everyone, without any exceptions. As for daily politics, a different approach has to be chosen, of course. But for those who wonder how I think on a larger scale, or who wonder how we might solve our everyday...
struggles and avoidable aches, might be interested in reading this text and leave some critique, general feedback, or even approval, just in case.
I’ve been researching female agency in anticolonial resistance and it’s an extremely interesting subject… I’ll be publishing on this in due course but can’t help sharing some pics here… (ongoing thread)

Firstly, Josina Muthemba Machel (1945-71), an important figure in the anticolonial struggle against the Portuguese in #Mozambique. #anticolonial #resistance #femaleagency #empire #machel #josinamachel
In 1964, at 18 yrs old, Josina Machel fled the country with the aim of joining the FRELIMO resistance movement in Tanzania, but was arrested and returned to Mozambique. She was imprisoned for five months.
