One more thing on this. Aside from the valid criticism that too many activists want visibility and recognition, there are anarchist bookshops and bookfairs irrationally scared of losing their space if they acknowledge we're still in a pandemic -- but that isn't just ableist af, that isn't just denialist, and that isn't just buying into a capitalist narrative, it's also total bullshit when you recognise that countless bookfairs stateside, and many bookstores like Firestorm, still operate while promoting Covid precautions. I'm not sure how things got so rotten so quickly here in the UK.

@jag This is so wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

I alluded to this kind of epic failure from certain segments of the anarchist movement in my piece here (though I had hoped many would've learned by now): https://www.mediaactivist.com/recovering-from-shock/

And @violetblue was right: we should strongly consider adding content warnings to such pieces - for false framing.

Ugh: "The critical lessons learned through the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath." Aftermath? I expect better from my supposed anarchist comrades who talk about mutual aid and solidarity at the start of the pandemic that still rages on -- they point the finger at capitalists and liberals suggesting that the spirit of community in a pandemic they suggest is in the past has been trampled on, without realising that if they want to see who was key to stamping it out, they need only look in a mirror. https://freedompress.org.uk/product/fight-for-a-new-normal/

Why we continue eating corpses and call it meat to hide the connection with the sentient beings:

@crowgirl I needed this attitude more in the last year where I had editors "um and ah" over my work because it "had potential" or didn't fit the homogenous style of writing for their site -- for contributions that weren't even paid. (I'm no slouch either, I've written a long time for many different publications for decades). In fact, if I cast my mind back, I had more freedom when I wrote for local newspapers. That's pretty fucked.
