we're looking into it. We have very little control over ads but sometimes can get specific ads taken down.

his son definitely ended up implicated. I've heard that his royalty shielded him, but i've also read that he ended up on trial a bit too.

this week's substack is a paid post, about my time living alone during covid in a 12x12' off-grid cabin and also me grandiosely comparing myself to Oscar Wilde, the subject of next week's podcast. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/the-habits...

Just finished WE WON'T BE HERE TOMORROW by @margaret.bsky.social and it's already gonna stay in my top favourite books of the year. Very glad I pre-ordered it last year. You should check out this book of weird, wonderful, brutal stories.

I've not read a ton of books on it specifically yet, most of what I know comes from conversations with a few friends who know it better than me.

Super stoked that my copy of Penumbra City arrived today! Also I have fallen desperately in love with the bomb-making anarchist computer scientist on page 38. @margaret.bsky.social (no idea if anyone else involved is on here, apologies if so!)

"We people have enough trouble from the state without establishing another one and becoming like the old bandits. You want to come up with a new, Jewish state. No, I think that the task of the Jews [...] is to demolish and make a furnace of the states." -emma goldman, 1907

Quoted in the introduction of the new Anna Elena Torres book, Horizons Blossom, Borders Vanish: Anarchism and Yiddish Literature

really great/thoughtful piece from @margaret.bsky.social today—"There is no going back. We cannot go back to a world that no longer exists. Covid is with us, and we need to accept that. Our risk models have to change. This doesn’t mean we can’t gather, but it changes the ways we should"
