Well, the Eschatron 9000 series is making its rounds on Tumblr. Truthfully, I had not seen the full series before about 2 weeks ago. Like many » Continue Reading
Below are some selected photographs from photographer Justine Kurland's series Girl Photos . I was reminded of this series this past summer when, to my surprise, I found Kurland's work hanging in a museum near me. Since then I have revisited the exhibition, and always her photos, multiple times. Personally, I love this series. I even had one of her photos printed out and hanging on my wall in coll... » Continue Reading
I first came across this essay in "Surrealism in the Anarchist Imagination," a series of essays on... well... it's pretty self explanatory. This book was compiled by Ron Sakolsky. I picked up a copy of this book at my local anarchist book store. I copied this text from Fifth Estate, where I suppose it was first published, It's short, sweet, and a fun read! Enjoy. "I haven't seen anyt » Continue Reading
Currently I'm reading Crime and Punishment and Which as You Know Means Violence. I'm really enjoying both. I love how much of a little weirdo Raskolnikov is. Which as You Know Means Violence is super interesting too. I didn't know anything about Johnny Knoxville until now. What are you reading? » Continue Reading

Hey Guys, I wrote this short, simple essay for a class I'm in recently. It's just a brief introduction to some of the conversations happening within environmental justice right now, and I thought I'd share. Some may see it as interesting, and I'd love to hear where you all disagree with me. » Continue Reading
I want to preface by saying that I critique this ideology not to dismiss it out of hand or be a hater, but because there are aspects of it that I simply don't understand. I would love to have a conversation about this with someone, maybe they can convince me, maybe they can't. Either way I want to add to the discourse and learn through dialogue. To begin is a critique of the phrase. While this is... » Continue Reading
Politicians seem to constantly blame Mexican cartels moving across the southern border as the cause of the addiction crisis, and say that we must strengthen the border in order to prevent our fellow American citizens from dying. This narrative misses so much its almost impossible to list it all out. First of all, people have a right to use substances as they see fit. Yes, all substances. Substance... » Continue Reading
90% of the time DNI lists are the most useless, performative things. Like you see all these DNIs that just say "racists, homophobes, pedos" and it's like... Will any of these people actually see that dni and turn around and avoid you? Likely not.
