@tillshadeisgone not that a cop sitting in prison where he can network with other white supremacists is in any way "justice" - but derek chauvin never would've been even charged if it wasn't for folks setting shit on fire here, no doubt about it.
@x_screamodeath_x guillotine cutter when available, otherwise ruler + xacto. scissors for the mini one-pagers. or else fold and crease real good and tear by hand for that "artisanal" look lolol (i don't actually do this)
Spurred by my encounter with a $20 zine at a Milwaukee bookshop, "The Price of Zines is Too Damn High" is my antagonization of boutique zinester culture. It argues in favor or a return to the roots of zines as a noncommercial means of expression and communication for marginalized communities and crews.
(It's also the first time I've collaged and hand-written a #zine for quite a while... it was fun! and it has lotsa #cats too)
@MediaActivist@sheffieldmaskbloc super, and thanks for the poke, i been thinking about getting to this and wishing i had more energy to do so earlier.... lmao at myself thinking i'd be able to back in june :D
Found something rad outside Mayday Cafe in south #minneapolis the other day - a sturdy free mask distro box, made from metal pipe with a wooden base and affixed to a street pole. Packed with various types of n95s! I might have to drop off some of my stickers there sometime too. #CovidIsNotOver#Covid
(My guess would be that it's either monitored by someone who works at Mayday, or someone/s in the neighborhood - there's a couple Mayday folks who always mask up but most of the time I stop there nobody is...)
In Nazi Germany and its occupied regions, people who were not necessarily front line resistance fighters helped sabotage the fascist machine by producing shoddy goods, messing up production lines, disrupting the deportation bureaucracy, espionage, and much more.
This was all despite tens of thousands of Germans being executed for resistance activities such as these, and for much lesser actions such as distributing leaflets and doing graffiti (though it’s worth nothing that some peaceful protests were tolerated by the regime as a sort of release valve).
That was 80 years ago and infrastructure has changed. What types of sabotage might be most useful against a fully fascist USA regime?
@MediaActivist i wouldn't be able to get around to it for at least a couple days, but i'll try to do so this coming weekend (unless something unexpected comes up). feel free to poke me about it after then! :anarchoheart2:
@MediaActivist has this piece been made into zine form? if not i'd like to - @mooncake you were looking for something like this i think, have you read it?
fancy union-busting celebrity chef restaurant in uptown minneapolis got a cement block and can of paint thru the window and had to close for a day last weekend, lets fucking goooooooooooo 💯 :ablobcatrave:
Feeling super emotional right now having just watched the newly-released uprising reporter reflection #4 from @UnicornRiot, about Day 4 of the George Floyd Uprising in #Minneapolis, the day and night after the 3rd precinct fell. There's so many quotes and screenshots and parts from it I'd love to share but I'll just say, def take half an hour when you can to watch it, and pass it on to help keep the history alive:
I've had a story in my head for a couple years now, an alternate history, involving what might've happened if people had moved faster and more decisively on that day attacking the 5th precinct, not let our foot off the gas. I've started putting some of it into words but it hasn't quite felt right. Maybe at some point I'll be ready to share it; I think imagination is healing, after all, and is a big driver of revolt.
Altho I was and am immensely proud of all the rebels that week, and I'm glad I did what I felt capable of doing with my people, I also yearn for might have been had I and everyone else done a little more.
OK, so Sam Kerr, superstar footballer and Indian*-Australian badass lesbian heroine, was charged in the UK with “racially aggravated harassment of a police officer”, which had everyone scratching their heads concerned for a few days
Then it came out that all she did (for better or worse) was call a cop a “stupid white bastard”, which is of course a completely regular and good thing to call a cop, and now she is even more beloved in Australia and beyond
*[post edited bc I originally and incorrectly said Aboriginal instead of Indian - my bad!]
didn't shave today - don't wanna get u sick - allergies every szn - wildfire smoke - surveillance cams everywhere - noise is cold - can't see me laughing lmao - don't perceive me!!! - don't wanna get me sick
An only-womens-sports bar is opening in Minneapolis and dang, if it weren’t for Covid, I might actually be interested in going to a bar. I hope they outgrow their space and move somewhere with a nice outdoor patio.
(It’s called Bar Of Their Own and I think it’s where Tracy’s used to be, on Franklin Ave in Seward)
