If you’re moving from art to anarchist blogging, let go of all you know about giving credit. Quoting someone’s radical ideas to a new audience without consent can expose them to dangerous attention. Reposts are harder to censor and remove than reblog chains. Being a decent writer shouldn’t mean we get popular and acquire social … Continue reading

If you suspect someone in your movement of being a long term undercover cop or an informant you either keep that shit to yourself until you know more or you spend the energy to do the research needed to confirm or deny your suspicions. You do not under any circumstances create a whisper train of … Continue reading

Security culture isn’t just clear guidelines, it’s also a large number of unspoken rules about which information to share, when it is okay to ask a personal question, etc. These unspoken social rules can be very difficult for autistic people to learn. Not acknowledging that results in white autistic men being mistaken for spies and … Continue reading

Anyone that tries to encourage me to take political action (from signing a petition to donating to protesting to going vegan etc) by exposing me to horrific images without my consent can fuck right off. The amount of injustice out there (and for many, in our own lives) is extremely difficult to bear. It takes … Continue reading

This may sound a little cheesy but hope that can last through dark times isn’t something you get from TED talks, or from love, or from faith, or from books. Powerful, resilient, durable hope comes from taking an action and seeing it improve something. If it’s an action takes together with others, that’s even better.

I’d be very very wary of any suggestion that polyamory could be a basis for ‘communities of care’. Because in practice, what that means is that those with the most sexual and romantic partners receive the most care. Which is, ya know, a hierarchy of the fuckable. That’s a terrible idea. If that isn’t immediately … Continue reading Don’t shape ‘communities of care’ around polyamory. Ever.

Casual reminder that sex positivity is the political position towards sex, which says that sex is not inherently more shameful, sinful or worse that other parts of life (and actually not better or exempt from political analysis either). As such, it has no relation to how easy sex is for you. If you never have … Continue reading Sex positivity

One of the problems of what I am for now going to call accountability culture (because it stretches far beyond call outs) is that it makes doing nothing or silently withdrawing the safe option. We’ve made being accountable into a terrifying and humiliating and very public experience, so logically most people avoid it at all … Continue reading Accountability culture

(Reposting a reply as a seperate post because the OP I was replying to turned out to be kinda terfy and that kind of people have no place on my blog. Also a lot here are not my own ideas but based on some conversations I had today, but hey, every idea ever is based … Continue reading Polyamory as ‘women’s liberation’ bullshit

If we rely on punishment as a tool to create safer spaces, we will always push out the most vulnerable. Because punishment does not happen to bad people, punishment happens to those who can not prevent it from happening. Punishment is is question of power, not justice.
