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.

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.

Stopped by the UW Palestine protest on Monday. Super chill, tons of art and student run content + teach-ins.
do you think the sniper cops take their pee bottles with them when they're done, or just leave them up there

its just reproductions of diyhrt.wiki and crimethinc's republication of the 'boobs not bombs' how to but the more copies of these resources out there the more iterations can be made
