Hidden Goals Stated Directly
Something that has stood out to me in the administration so far is that many of the people that have been placed in (or just grabbed) power have goals that are deeper or more expansive than just holding power or hurting people. Of course, holding power and hurting people are fantastic bonuses for these weirdos,…

“I Told You So” on a Sinking Raft
If you, like me, have a lot of people in your social media feeds who are older, whiter, and consider themselves progressives because they voted Democrat, I’m confident you’ve seen a lot of “I Told You So”s in the last several weeks. Lots of holier-than-thou “Is this what you voted for, Republicans?” and the like.…

I Didn’t Think It’d Be Like This
I know for someone who purports to have meaningful and worthwhile insights into the world as it is, as it could be, and how to bridge the gap from one to the other, that’s a very uninspiring title. But the last “real” post I made was well before the new year, and like a lot…

Time Keeps Happening
“Oh yeah I have so much to write, and because of how my job works I’ll have so much time to put those thoughts down in the blog!” ~ me last year, an idiot So…that didn’t happen, obviously. Because I got a different job that does not afford me time in front of a computer,…

Just One Man, or Throw Yourself Upon the Machine
There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part; you can’t even passively take part, and you’ve got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you’ve got to…

Nobody’s Coming to Save Us
I suppose this title is the closest thing a blog can get to clickbait, but it is true. One of the core ideas of mutual aid, to me, is to establish self reliance in a community to provide for itself when the state is unable or unwilling to do so. If we can’t trust the…

Somewhere, a Nazi is Exercising. Are you?
I saw this once in a Reddit post about leftist prepping, and it stuck with me. I am…not very good at exercising. Routines are antithetical to my brain. I am not in particularly good shape. But as we look forward to the next few years I’m hoping this can be some motivation to work on…

And the Crowd Goes Mild
When I sat down to write this post originally, I discovered that even though this blog is anonymous, and part of why I created it was to share my thoughts, I feel very uncomfortable actually sharing my thoughts. Sad trombone noise. I’m hoping that it’s something that will become easier over time. Maybe it will…

Advice for Protesters
This is advice I’ve shared in personal spaces a few times before, and for some unknown reason it never stops being relevant. Hmm, weird. I suspect (and hope) that protest participation will skyrocket in the coming months, and especially for those who are new to it, I think it’s important to establish some etiquette. The…

OpSec Online for Baby Activists
You’ve maybe heard the term OpSec before, and it might sound very cloak and dagger to you, but it’s not as sinister or secretive as all that. It stands for Operational Security, and it’s a systematic process for protecting and controlling sensitive information. If you want to organize direct action in your community and you…
