@big_louse - what's ZLibrary?

@abolisyonista

@abolisyonista - my email address is delicate.torture@gmail.com

This sounds amazing! I'm trying to convince my uni library to buy copies, and trying to fund a copy for myself.

I get so frustrated with book prices.. the ebook of this is almost $70aud.

If you'd like to help a struggling student, my details are here:

"Abolish Criminology presents critical scholarship on criminology and criminal justice ideologies and practices, alongside emerging freedom-driven visions and practices for new world formations.

The book introduces readers to a detailed history and analysis of crime as a concept and its colonizing trajectories into existence and enforcement. These significant contexts buried within peculiar academic histories and classroom practices are often overlooked or unknown outside academic and public discussions, causing the impact of racializing-gendering-sexualizing histories to extend and grow through criminology’s creation of crime, extending how the concept is weaponized and enforced through the criminal legal system. It offers written, visual, and poetic teachings from the perspectives of students, professors, imprisoned and formerly imprisoned persons, and artists. This allows readers to engage in multi-sensory, inter-disciplinary, and multi-perspective teachings on criminology’s often discussed but seldom interrogated mythologies on violence and danger, and their wide-reaching enforcements through the criminal legal system’s research, theories, agencies, and dominant cultures.

Abolish Criminology serves the needs of undergraduate and graduate students and educators in the social sciences, arts, and humanities. It will also appeal to scholars, researchers, policy makers, activists, community organizers, social movement builders, and various reading groups in the general public who are grappling with increased critical public discourse on policing and criminal legal reform or abolition."

It's interesting that one of the things the whole Fediverse concept is praised about is how it's decentralised, so one person isn't able to set themselves up as the head of everything and use it as an ego stroke..

There is a Google doc that lists gynaecologists who will perform tubal ligation (tie tubes) without asking if you have kids/your partners permission/are married etc. as long as you're old enough to consent to surgery.

It's sorted by alphabetical order by state.

If your city isn't listed, keep checking because it's constantly being updated.

So far there are entries for USA, Canada, and Australia. Europe will hopefully soon be added.

Even if your handmade business didn't get blown up with the twitter nonsense, even if you don't make money from what you make (or don't make much money from what you make), even if you're not good at making things - I WANT TO SEE YOUR CREATIONS

I want to see your tiny crocheted animals.
I want to see your pickled cucumbers.
I want to see your drawings of cheese.

I want to see what you make.

And fuck that guy who was complaining.

I'm a disabled Indigenous queer person who exists on Jobseeker, which means almost 50% ($269/week) below the poverty line ($489/week).

After living in the same house for almost 10 years, I recently had to move as the new landlords decided to renovate so they could increase the rent.

Moving has cost me over $4000, and ended up putting me almost $2500 in debt.

Because of moving, my JobSeeker payments have been decreased by over $100 a fortnight until Centrelink approves my lease paperwork and I can get rent assistance again.

I'm in a new house with a new landlord, and am barely able to make rent at the moment, let alone cover bills and food.

I hate asking, but please consider helping if you can - I'd be super grateful.

I did a thing!

Self care™️ is cute and all but have we considered investing in community care????

Community care asks us:

Do we earnestly check in on folks?

Do we have the language to ask for help?

Is our intuition such that we understand when someone needs care?

Do we know our capacities?

Are we building relationships founded on reciprocity?

Have we created a community wherein holding space for one another is normalized?

If we understand that individualism, as popularly understood, is a capitalist ideal, and by proxy often an ableist one: has our conception of care shifted from the personal to the communal?

After living in the same house for almost 10 years, I have to move because the people we rent from want to renovate.

It's going to cost $3990 just to move, not including the new bond and rent for the new place, cleaning costs for the old place, and all the other incidentals.

I hate asking, but please consider helping if you can - I'd be super grateful.

[update - thank you to those who have shared this post, and to those who have supported this. I've been given just over $1500 by you all, and am so grateful.

We've moved (yay!) I've had to borrow the other $2410 as a low interest loan, and anything else given will go towards paying that back)

Every single protest I hand my expensive ass bullhorn off to complete strangers and it always comes back to me. Every protest I prepare for the fact my speaker or the PA system could get damaged or potentially stolen. It doesn't happen. Kids were spray painting right next to me yesterday and being careful not to get paint on my set-up. Ethical vandalism. Carry on bro. And—while I was standing in the middle of a ratchet intersection block party—a sweaty protester in a mask came up to me and handed me a car key he found in the chaos. Then he want back to dancing. Ten minutes later a distraught woman came up and asked if anyone had returned a car key. Her lucky day.

Anytime something of mine has been lost, broken, or stolen at a protest it's been by the police. And I've been at some WILD fucking protests.

The way Australia (and other countries) is pushing the 'return to normal' bullshit, relying on vaccines and (non existent) herd immunity, instead of still masking and social distancing, letting people work from home, and all those things.. it's eugenics that sacrifices disabled people.

Don't come at me with statements about how covid kills as many people as dementia - dementia isn't contagious. Governments aren't taking deliberate actions that result in millions of people who otherwise wouldn't have dementia contracting it.

I'm tired of the ableism in the whole 'vaccines will save us' rubbish. They might save YOU, but disabled people are still dying because you won't wear a fucking mask.

Stop hiding your ableism behind what you think is a logical argument.. your argument isn't logical because covid isn't the same as dementia. Just be honest that you would prefer disabled people die before you have to wear a fucking mask.
