i'd like to see some non-enclosed critters, but, it's still nice to see people trying their hardest to help the critters that come under their care.

BIG VIDEO TODAY! My newest video essay is live, and this time we're talking about the Wolfenstein video games as a meditation on fascism and society.

Please check it out, it would mean a lot to me!

People are criticizing Eli Erlick for openly distributing hormones and puberty blockers to minors, even if they support what she does, because you're supposed to keep that kind of thing a secret. On the contrary: openly breaking bad laws in order to help other people is one of the best ways to force the state onto the defensive and it constitutes a form of propaganda. Marijuana legalization activists proudly smoke in public, abortion rights activists in places where it's criminalized will proudly boast of distributing misoprostol. Kill the cop inside your head who says you should keep something secret when you're not doing anything wrong

If you have any interest in neofascist movements or the dark underbelly of industrial music but ESPECIALLY the links between the two, I cannot recommend this book by @spencersunshine highly enough

I had the privilege of reading an early draft of it, and the sheer amount of information it contains is staggering, and you won't find any of it anywhere else

And so many bands that have spent decades playing the ARE WE NAZIS OR JUST PROVOCATEURS game collapse under Spencer's research

DIY HRT is life saving

places where The Powers That Be remove access to the life saving medicine that HRT is show the necessity of developing our own resources to keep ourselves alive. attacks on those resources are attacks on not just our lives but self-creation itself.

though, i do feel that's a bit undercut by the fact that it uses a lot of real world politics surrounding israel - but without the heavier parts of that baggage.

When you think to take determination of your fate into your own hands, that is the moment you can be crushed. Be cautious. Allow for surprises. When we create, there are always other forces at work.

Folx frequently ask me about security culture, both technical and social, so here's a reading list (in maybe the order you should read them). There's some overlap and contradictions between the zines, but that's not a bad thing. No one is completely right (not even me), and with something as likely to have serious consequences as security errors, always get at least 2 opinions.

First up is "Confidence, Connection, Courage, Trust." It's the best zine out there for finding a starting point for developing a security culture. It discusses how to create security culture without becoming paralyzed by paranoid.

"Use Signal, Use Tor" were slogans for a while, and while that slogan's use dropped off, Signal is still the go-to messenger for radicals. However, it's not a silver bullet. "Signals Fails" discusses how to use it correctly and common mistakes.
